   - The endpoint is now displayed in the Status field
 - Prometheus monitoring for external clusters is now possible, refer to the [external cluster section](Documentation/ceph-cluster-crd.html#external-cluster)
 - The operator will check for the presence of the `lvm2` package on the host where OSDs will run. If not available, the prepare job will fail. This will prevent issues of OSDs not restarting on node reboot.
+- Added a new label "ceph_daemon_type" label to Ceph daemon pods to go alongside the existing "ceph_daemon_id" label.
