Container Monitoring 3.3.0

What’s New

• LM Container charts can now discover and monitor the Helm chart releases using the following module:
  • ConfigSource: Kubernetes_Helm_Charts
    
• Updated the Kubernetes LogicModules to improve the collector performance. For more information, see Collector Capacity (HTTP) in the Protocol column for Kubernetes monitoring in the Device Capacity Limits section.
  
• Added the following ConfigSource and DataSources LogicModules to monitor Helm chart releases, kube-state-metrics (KSM) container, and summary for Watchdog (an LM Container internal service).
  ConfigSource
  Kubernetes_Helm_Charts
  
  DataSources
  Kubernetes_KSM_Container
  Kubernetes_Helm_Status
  Kubernetes_Summary_Watchdog
  
  TopologySources
  Kubernetes_Node_KSM_Topology
  Kubernetes_Pod_KSM_Topology

Enhancements

• Kubernetes DataSources are now available as inline scripts instead of using the OpenMetrics collection method. This change delivers better performance without affecting the data collected.
  The following are the updated DataSources, PropertySource, and TopologySource that are part of the change:
  
  DataSources
  Kubernetes_Container
  Kubernetes_Deployment
  Kubernetes_KSM_Cronjobs
  Kubernetes_KSM_Daemonsets
  Kubernetes_KSM_Deployments
  Kubernetes_KSM_EndPoints
  Kubernetes_KSM_Jobs
  Kubernetes_KSM_Nodes
  Kubernetes_KSM_PersistentVolumeClaims
  Kubernetes_KSM_PersistentVolumes
  Kubernetes_KSM_PodDisruptionBudget
  Kubernetes_KSM_Pods
  Kubernetes_KSM_Replicasets
  Kubernetes_KSM_Statefulsets
  Kubernetes_KSM_Watchdog
  Kubernetes_Node
  Kubernetes_Pod
  Kubernetes_Script_Uptime
  
  PropertySource
  addCategory_KubernetesKSM
  
  TopologySource:
  Kubernetes_Service_Topology
