22.4.05
Monitor cluster nodes using host name labels instead of IPs
In cloud-managed Kubernetes environments, if the node name is returned as an IP address, the system checks node labels for host names by using JVM arguments. If a host name is found, the system replaces the IP address with the host name as the identifier. For more information, see Configuring-Kubernetes-monitoring-profile.
