- Significantly reduced resource usage compared to earlier Kepler implementations
Multi-level energy tracking for the following levels:
- node
- process
- container
- VM
- pod
- Terminated workload tracking with configurable retention policies
- Energy-based prioritization for terminated resources
- Real-time data collection with configurable intervals and staleness detection
1.1.2.1. Updated dashboards
With this update, power monitoring for Red Hat OpenShift has the following dashboard changes:
- Updated Power Monitor / Overview dashboard.
- Updated Power Monitor / Namespace (Pods) dashboard.
The older metrics and dashboards are no longer supported. If you are managing your own custom dashboard or queries, you need to update to the newer versions.
1.1.3. Power monitoring 0.5 (Technology Preview) deprecated and removed features
Review deprecated and removed features that might affect your use of the power monitoring 0.5 Technology Preview release.
-
In the Red Hat OpenShift power monitoring technology preview 0.5 release, the
Keplercustom resource has been deprecated, and will be removed in a future release. Use thePowerMonitorcustom resource instead. - In the Red Hat OpenShift power monitoring technology preview 0.5 release, the Redfish configuration has been removed. It is no longer supported in previous versions of power monitoring.
