Monitor Silencing

Silencing lets you mute a monitor result on a component during a known issue or maintenance window. The monitor keeps evaluating health, and the result stays visible.

  • Silencing Rules: Mute a result from the monitor details. Add a note and a duration. The rule expires automatically.

  • Notification Control: By default, muted results do not trigger notifications. Optionally, get notified when silencing changes.

  • Muted Filter: Find muted components with muted = true in the advanced topology filter.

For more information, see Silencing.

New Features & Enhancements

  • Agent Secret Management: The SUSE Observability Agent Helm chart now supports sourcing the cluster name and receiver URL directly from existing Kubernetes Secrets, simplifying GitOps workflows and enhancing credential security.

Bug Fixes

  • SUSE AI StackPack Topology: Fixed a regression where the SUSE AI StackPack failed to render OpenTelemetry-based topology relationships.

  • Show Topology Action: Fixed a rendering issue with the Show Topology button inside the Related Resources drawer.

  • Notification Email Logging: Fixed an issue where the email notification client failed to log error messages during delivery failures.

  • CPU Throttling Monitor: Adjusted the CPU Throttling monitor evaluation window to inspect the last 5 minutes of data, preventing false positives caused by brief, momentary spikes in activity.

  • Self-Monitoring Metrics: Fixed an issue where opening the same topology view across multiple browser tabs or sessions caused self-monitoring metrics (such as topology stream and WebSocket viewer counts) to intermittently drop from endpoint scrapes.

Agent Bug Fixes

  • No agent-specific bug fixes were reported in this release.
