# Add labels to Pods created by the Astronomer Helm chart

If your organization enforces Pod labeling for security, workload identity, multi-tenancy, or policy enforcement, you can configure Astronomer Software to automatically add labels to all Pods it creates during installation or upgrades.

## Prerequisites

* You must have [System Admin permissions](/docs/astro-private-cloud/v-0-37/role-permission-reference#system-admin) to perform an upgrade or installation.

## Configure Pod labels

In your Helm chart, add the `podLabels` configuration to the `values.yaml` file during your update or installation process.

```yaml wrap theme={null}
global:
    podLabels:
        key: "value"

```

For example, you can use the label `security.level: "high"` as a way to identify Pods created by Software using the following code:

```yaml wrap theme={null}
global:
    podLabels:
        security.level: "high"
```

## Find labeled Pods

You can search for Pods using the kubectl command `get pods` with the label flag. For example, to retrieve a list of all Pods labeled with the key-value pair, `security.level=high`, you can use the following command:

```bash wrap theme={null}
kubectl -n astronomer get pods -l security.level=high
```
