Chapter 1. About the Red Hat Lightspeed advisor service

You can use the Red Hat Lightspeed advisor service to assess and monitor the health of your Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform clusters. Whether you are concerned about individual clusters, or with your whole infrastructure, it is important to be aware of your exposure to issues that can affect service availability, fault tolerance, performance, or security.

Red Hat Lightspeed repeatedly analyzes data collected by Insights Operator against a database of recommendations, which are sets of conditions that can leave your clusters at risk. You can then perform the following actions in the Red Hat Hybrid Cloud Console:

  • See clusters impacted by a specific recommendation.
  • Use robust filtering capabilities to refine your results.
  • Learn more about individual recommendations, details about the risks they present, and get resolutions tailored to your individual clusters.
  • Share results with other stakeholders.

To use the advisor service, your cluster must be registered to Red Hat OpenShift Cluster Manager. To register a disconnected cluster, see Registering OpenShift Container Platform clusters to OpenShift Cluster Manager.

The Red Hat Lightspeed advisor service bundles information about various cluster states and component configurations that can negatively affect the service availability, fault tolerance, performance, or security of your clusters. This information set is called a recommendation in advisor service and includes the following information:

  • Name: A concise description of the recommendation
  • Added: When the recommendation was published to the Red Hat Lightspeed archive
  • Category: Whether the issue has the potential to negatively affect service availability, fault tolerance, performance, or security
  • Total risk: A value derived from the likelihood that the condition will negatively affect your infrastructure, and the impact on operations if that were to happen
  • Clusters: A list of clusters on which a recommendation is detected
  • Link to associated topics: More information from Red Hat about the issue
