need to fill out the checklist.)
# Tests Checklist

To bootstrap your cluster to run the tests, follow [these

    - [ ] `arm64`
    - [ ] `arc-extension`
    - [ ] `fips`
- [ ] Have new tests been added? For features, have tests been added for
this feature? For fixes, is there a test that could have caught this
issue and could validate that the fix works?
  - [ ] Is a new scrape job needed?
- [ ] The scrape job was added to the folder
[test-cluster-yamls](/otelcollector/test/test-cluster-yamls/) in the
correct configmap or as a CR.
  - [ ] Was a new test label added?

- [ ] The label and description was added to the [test
README](/otelcollector/test/README.md).
