20.02.01 Enhancements
Kubernetes Pod Optimization
This release brings significant updates to help
user to optimize the Kubernetes infrastructure.
Kubernetes Pods are designed as temporary entities. They are created, assigned a unique ID, and scheduled to nodes where they remain until termination, according to restart policy or deletion. Every time a Kubernetes Pod migrates to a new host or restarted, Pod is replaced by a new near-identical Pod with a different ID. If not properly managed, this continuous renaming of the Pod will make the capability of trending capacity-relevant metrics over time extremely difficult.
With the new version of the "Moviri Integrator for
- Kubernetes Prometheus",
is now able to provide data continuity over Kubernetes Pods metrics by introducing the new concept of Pod Workload.
A Pod Workload represents a set of Pod entities sharing the same foundation (even within different controllers and replica sets), allowing to follow a Pod through its entire life cycle. For each Pod Workload entity,
user will now be able to access:
- Capacity-relevant measurements (e.g., CPU Utilization, Memory Utilization vs. Requests and Limits) for the average, best-performing and worst-performing Pods within the Pod Workload
- Capacity-relevant measurements (e.g., CPU Utilization, Memory Utilization vs. Requests and Limits) for each Container/Image for the average, best-performing and worst-performing Pods within the Pod Workload
These enhancements are critical for an effective Capacity Optimization process, above all, with the ultimate goal of defining the best Pod configuration to optimize the underlining infrastructure.
New Moviri Integrator for ElasticSearch
This release brings a brand new "Moviri Integrator for
- ElasticSearch." enabling to import into
capacity-relevant measurements and business drivers from ElasticSearch. The integration allows users to extract all the data indexed in the ELK stack by executing ElasticSearch queries. The "Moviri Integrator for
- ElasticSearch" provides two separate modules:
- ElasticSearch for Unix and Windows importing capacity-relevant metrics for the Unix and Windows servers collected by ELK via MetricBeat
- ElasticSearch Generic importing any time series extracted via ElasticSearch queries can be configured in the ETL Run Configuration, either via ElasticSearch search or aggregation.
The "Moviri Integrator for
- ElasticSearch" extends the option of importing capacity-relevant and business drivers metrics. It allows the user to enhance Capacity Optimization with the following use-cases:
- Infrastructure utilization analysis and saturation prediction leveraging all the analytical tools available in
- Business-aware Capacity Optimization, correlating workload with resource utilization metrics to translate IT requirements in business terms
The integration leverages the documented ElasticSearch REST API to execute the ElasticSearch query against indexed data.
Renewed Moviri Integrator for Dynatrace
The "Moviri Integrator for
- Dynatrace" v.20.02.01 brings a lot of new features aimed to improve the use cases that can be achieved by extracting data from Dynatrace.
The new version of the integrator implements the following enhancements and features:
- Support for Dynatrace Metric v2 API: the integration now supports the new Dynatrace Metric v2 API, which is the preferred integration method to access time series according to Dynatrace best practices
- Reviewed interaction with SmartScape and Topology API: the integration now implements a new, more efficient approach to access Applications, Services, and Hosts while providing enhanced filtering capabilities based on Dynatrace Entity Tags
- Better Time Zone Management: the integration now allows to import metrics at the Time Zone of the
ETL Engine (instead of the Dynatrace default timezone, UTC), allowing to correlate metrics imported from different data sources.
- Renewed Workspace Hierarchy: the integration now creates a new Workspace hierarchy with the ultimate goal of simplifying the usage of the
analytical tools. The new Workspace Hierarchy supports now the definition of Direct/Indirect Services (configurable as ETL Run Configuration property) and replaces Process Groups with Services while aggregating process-level metrics
- Support for Real User Monitoring metrics: the integration now also imports metrics for Real User Monitoring (Number of Web Actions, Number of Concurrent Users, Conversions) as well as new technology-specific metrics (Java capacity-relevant metrics, Busy/Idle workers)
Enhanced Moviri Integrator for ServiceNow
The "Moviri Integrator for
– ServiceNow" now officially supports importing configuration metrics at Domain (Application) level.
The JSON file used to configure the "Moviri Integrator for
– ServiceNow" now allows users to define the Metric element also for Node that will be imported as Domain (Application, APP) in the Workspace Hierarchy.
Moviri Integrator for Splunk now supports Splunk 8
The "Moviri Integrator for
– Splunk" now officially supports the integration with Splunk 8.
All the modules included in the solution (for Unix and Windows, Web Logs, and Generic) have been validated versus the latest Splunk release.
