Hi,

The observability addon has [some options](https://github.com/canonical/microk8s-core-addons/blob/a8d3cd9e300d66012c01c1ecf364ddd23657b97c/addons/observability/enable#L49), for example “–without-tempo”. But I don’t know to pass this option.

To pass the IP in [host-access addon](https://microk8s.io/docs/addon-host-access) it should be:

```auto
microk8s enable host-access:ip=<desired-ip>

```

I tried:

```auto
microk8s enable observability:without-tempo
microk8s enable observability --without-tempo
microk8s enable observability:--without-tempo

```

But seems like none work. How can I pass argument options to observability addon?

Thanks.
