      The operator was periodically reconciling (every 10 hours) all Kiali CRs and OSSMConsole CRs even when they were not changed. The fix turns this off; only when Kiali CRs and OSSMConsole CRs are modified (annotations or spec) will the operator reconcile them.

      Steps to reproduce:

      This issue is reproducible in the operator version.

      • Kiali Operator 2.4.7 + OSSM 3.0.3
      • Kiali Operator 2.11.4 + OSSM 3.1.3
      • Kiali Operator 2.17.2 + OSSM 3.2.1 (latest version)
      1. Install Kiali Operator, OSSM Operator
      2. Install Istiod-cni and istiod
      3. Install Kiali instance
      4. Install ossmconsole plugin from kiali-operator

      Actual results: 

       

      1. kiali operator send patch request to console.operator every 10 hours
// kube-apiserver audit.log

      Description

      Kiali operator reconciliate ossmconsole every 10hours and it triggers openshift-console pod redeployment.

      1. Kiali operator run ansible task for OSSMCONSOLE RECONCILIATION every 10hours
      2. It patches console operator and changes `console-config` configmap
      3. Then, it triggers console-pod redeployment and console pod restarts.

      The console pod is redeployed every 10 hours, which doesn't seem appropriate for a production environment. Is this expected behavior?
