K8s custom event for OOM-killed pods

This Kubernetes custom event is generated on the pod entity, so you can more easily correlate which pods were killed due to being out of memory—for an improved troubleshooting experience.
(GA 22.9, Released September 23, 2022)
|
Pre-defined health rules for K8s entities

More new predefined health rules for Kubernetes entities reduce your time to value and improve MTTI. Detect and prevent issues by proactively monitoring resource usage, whether enough pods are running, and error count.

Root cause analysis (RCA) has been extended to include service instances, guiding you to the right data and therefore reducing troubleshooting time and MTTI.

UI for filtering is enhanced
