+## Sidecars
+
+If you have a need for additional containers to run within the same pod as NATS (e.g. an additional metrics or logging exporter), you can do so via the `sidecars` config parameter. Simply define your container according to the Kubernetes container spec.
+
+```yaml
+sidecars:
+- name: your-image-name
+  image: your-image
+  imagePullPolicy: Always
+  ports:
+  - name: portname
+   containerPort: 1234
+```

 ## Production settings and horizontal scaling
 
 The [values-production.yaml](values-production.yaml) file consists a configuration to deploy a scalable and high-available NATS deployment for production environments. We recommend that you base your production configuration on this template and adjust the parameters appropriately.
