Changelog

• Fixed: The unprivileged version of Kubernetes integration was running as root after a restart of the container due to kubernetes/kubernetes#78308.
• Fixed: Autodiscovery cache directory permissions got changed from 644 to 744 in order to let the nri-agent user write inside. This change was necessary to release an unprivileged version of the Kubernetes integration.

Changelog

Added: Support for kube-state-metrics (KSM) 1.5.

Added: The reason and message attributes are added to K8sPodSample. This will provide visibility into why a pod status is Failed.

For example, a pod that failed due to memory pressure on the node will report the following attributes:

• Status: Failed
• Reason: Evicted
• Message: Pod The node was low on resource: [MemoryPressure]

It is possible to create an alert for any of these attributes.

Added: The memoryWorkingSetBytes attribute is added to K8sContainerSample. This metric is used by the OOMkiller to decide when a container is using too much memory compared to its limit and should therefore be killed. It will enable more precise monitoring of the memory usage for containers.

Changed: Always request metrics from kube-state-metrics in text format. In KSM's v1.5 this is the default regardless of the format requested.

Changelog

Added: namespaceName attribute was added to all the samples where the namespace attribute is present. This is to align with standard naming for attributes. Other examples: clusterName, podName, etc.

Deprecated: namespace attribute is deprecated. We recommend using namespaceName instead.

Changelog

Changed: Starting in version 1.4.0, the Kubernetes integration is using Alpine Linux as the base image.

With Alpine the new image is smaller (16 MB instead of the previous 85 MB) and more secure. Alpine reduces the number of packages and libraries to the bare minimum, thus reducing the attack surface.
