It’s always great to get new functionality into OMS, today the Container Monitoring solution goes into general availability.

Solution Summary

• See information about all container hosts in a single location
• Know which containers are running, what image they’re running, and where they’re running
• See an audit trail for actions on containers
• Troubleshoot by viewing and searching centralized logs without remote login to the Docker hosts
• Find containers that may be “noisy neighbors” and consuming excess resources on a host
• View centralized CPU, memory, storage, and network usage and performance information for containers

New with GA

• Kubernetes cluster awareness with at-a-glance hierarchy inventory from Kubernetes cluster to pods
• New Kubernetes events
• Capture custom pod labels and provides custom complex search filters
• Provides container process information
