v2.6.0 - 29/Sep/2025

Release Notes: SUSE Observability Helm Chart v2.6.0

This release has a BREAKING CHANGE for clickhouse.commonLabels and zookeeper.commonLabels (Helm chart).

New Features & Enhancements

  • HBase Upgrade: HBase has been updated to version 2.6.3 to improve compatibility with Hadoop 3.4.

  • Global Common Labels Support (Helm Chart): The SUSE Observability Helm chart now supports the global.commonLabels configuration. This allows you to add custom Kubernetes labels to all Deployments, StatefulSets, CronJobs, Jobs, and Pods created by the Helm chart.

    • BREAKING CHANGE: If you explicitly configured clickhouse.commonLabels and zookeeper.commonLabels, the Helm upgrade will fail due to the immutable nature of StatefulSets. To prevent this, you must delete the corresponding StatefulSets before upgrading, while leaving the running pods intact.

    • Use the following commands to safely delete the StatefulSets:

      kubectl delete statefulset -n <suse observability namespace> -l app.kubernetes.io/name=zookeeper --cascade=orphan
      kubectl delete statefulset -n <suse observability namespace> -l app.kubernetes.io/name=clickhouse --cascade=orphan
  • Editable Service Monitors: Monitors for SUSE Observability’s own internal services are now editable. This also applies to other monitors that create multiple health states per component.

Bug Fixes

  • ClusterRole Name Conflict: Fixed an issue where the agent and platform could not be installed in the same namespace due to a conflicting ClusterRole name.

  • Data Corruption (Non-HA Setups): Resolved a data corruption issue that occurred after a Tephra and server restart on non-HA setups.

  • Topology Overview Performance: Fixed a performance degradation issue when running the topology overview on views containing a large number of components (over 4000).

  • CLI Emoji Formatting: Formatting has been corrected for fields containing Emojis in the CLI.

Agent Bug Fixes

  • RBAC Agent Self-Signed Certificates: Fixed an issue to properly support self-signed certificates within the RBAC agent.

  • RBAC Agent SSL Validation Skip: The RBAC agent now supports the global.skipSslValidation setting.
