Unable to download fluentbit in my server

[Anshuman0901]

Hello, While downloading fluent bit I executed below command:

1. kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/fluent/fluent-operator/release-3.3/manifests/setup/setup.yaml
   But m receiving error as below:
   The CustomResourceDefinition "fluentds.fluentd.fluent.io" is invalid: metadata.annotations: Too long: must have at most 262144 bytes

When i try edit crd above fluentds.fluentd.fluent.io this crd is not opening or exisitng. How to troubleshoot this error so m able to download fluentbit.

This is a pretty standard error with kubectl apply as it tries to patch in old and new config, it's not related to the operator itself, e.g. argoproj/argo-cd#820

Does it work if you use kubectl create or kubectl replace?

There are plenty of examples of how to resolve it and why it happens online. It is probably worth sending a docs PR to update for folks who see this issue.
