Monitoring Docker, OpenShift, Kubernetes and Linux - Version 5.22
Version 5.22 of our applications, configurations, and Collectord is now available. In this blog post, we will cover some highlights of the release.
Disk Stats Dashboard
Under Review->Disk Stats you can find a new dashboard showing statistics of all the mounted disks on the host.
User defined Splunk outputs
We have received this feature request from a few customers, and we are happy to announce that it is now available.
Users can define a Splunk output with the CustomResourceDefinition (CRD) SplunkOutput in their namespace. For example
apiVersion: "collectord.io/v1"
kind: SplunkOutput
metadata:
name: splunk-user-output-for-deployment
spec:
token: 1a8b9c3e-7789-4353-821f-15b9662bac99
url: https://splunk.example.com:8088/services/collector/event/1.0
insecure: true
Similarly to how you can reference the default Splunk outputs defined in the ConfigMap, you can reference them with an annotation
apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
name: long-running
annotations:
collectord.io/output: splunk::user/default/splunk-user-output-for-deployment
spec:
...
You define it as splunk::user/<namespace>/<name>.
To use this feature, you need to update your configuration file and include the definition of the CustomResourceDefinition SplunkOutput.
