Prometheus Blackbox Exporter configuration¶
Implemented the capability to configure Prometheus Blackbox Exporter, including
customModules and timeoutOffset, through the StackLight Helm chart.
Custom Prometheus scrape configurations¶
Implemented the capability to define custom Prometheus scrape configurations.
Elasticsearch switch to OpenSearch¶
Due to licensing changes for Elasticsearch, Mirantis Container Cloud has switched from using Elasticsearch to OpenSearch and Kibana has switched to OpenSearch Dashboards. OpenSearch is a fork of Elasticsearch under the open-source Apache License with development led by Amazon Web Services.
For new deployments with the logging stack enabled, OpenSearch is now deployed by default. For existing deployments, migration to OpenSearch is performed automatically during clusters update. However, the entire Elasticsearch cluster may go down for up to 15 minutes.
