Kubernetes integration release notesRSS

Changed

• Updated agent and integrations to their latest versions

Breaking changes

• With the addition of Kubernetes 1.22.x support, we are phasing out of the support bracket Kubernetes versions 1.15.x and below. This means the supported versions bracket for this version and the rest of the nri-kubernetes 2.8.x branch is from Kubernetes v1.16.x to v1.22.x.
• Users may still use previous versions of the integration and their Helm charts to instrument their clusters, and limited support will be offered for them. Development for said older versions is considered stopped and New Relic does not guarantee feature parity or bugfixes (security or otherwise) for those older versions.

Changed

• Node status and conditions are now fetched from the API Server rather than KSM, which fixes some inconsistencies in the samples. This does not change which data is reported, and should be an invisible change. (#194).
• Add a series of parameters which allow to configure a jitter to be applied to API Server response caching, which might help to spread the load on large clusters. (#185).

Fixed

• Node status and conditions are now fetched from the Kubernetes API rather than KSM, which makes the query experience more consistent.
• Infrastructure agent and integrations have been updated to the latest versions.

Added

• Integration now reports node status and conditions as condition.{Name} (for example condition.Ready, condition.PIDPressure).
• Added the new KubeStateMetricsNamespace parameter to restrict discovery of KSM pod to a particular namespace.
  • This should help reduce load in the control plane for clusters with many pods and/or nodes.
• Added the unschedulable metric to K8sNodeSamples.
• Added the podIP metric to K8sPodSample.
