+Reloader can be configured to ignore the resources `secrets` and `configmaps` by passing the following args (`spec.template.spec.containers.args`) to its container :
+
+| Args | Description |
+|---|---|
+| --resources-to-ignore=configMaps | To ignore configMaps |
+| --resources-to-ignore=secrets | To ignore secrets |
+
+`Note`: At one time only one of these resource can be ignored, trying to do it will cause error in Reloader. Workaround for ignoring both resources is by scaling down the reloader pods to `0`.
