Tue, 15 Oct 2024 11:04:44 +0000

New graph: OOM Events
On the Reports page, a new OOM Events graph shows the count of OOMKills over time across the estate. Use the filters at the top of the page to filter by cluster and time period.

Learning period shown on Schedule page
You can now view a workload’s learning period on the Settings > Schedule section of workload’s details page. The learning period defines how long Optimize Live observes a new workload before providing recommendations that can be auto-deployed.

To adjust the learning period, you can set a cluster, namespace, or workload default by setting the live.stormforge.io/learning-period annotation.

Deployment breakdown graph
A new graph on the Workloads Summary page shows the following workload and deployment information:
- The proportion of workloads that have auto-deploy enabled vs. disabled
- Deployment outcome counts

Graphs showing overview data over time
On the new Reports page, you can now view graphs that show recommendation impact data for your entire estate over a time range of 2 weeks, 1 month, or 3 months:
- Current and recommended requests totals for both CPU and memory
- Optimization progress showing the number of overprovisioned/underprovisioned workloads
- Estimated monthly resource costs
- Workload count
  
  Example:

Improved recommendation details view
On the Recommendation tab on the workload details page, recommended container values are now stacked along the left side of the pane, making it easier to view recommended values. Clicking a container name still reveals the Average CPU/Memory Usage, Requests, and Limits graphs.

Get Started improvements
You no longer have to save the generated Yaml values file when you install.
Simply provide a cluster name, run the generated helm install command, and click Check Connection.
Optimization settings improved layout
On a workload’s Config tab, settings are now read-only and grouped as shown in the image below. To change these settings, use annotations as shown in the examples provided.

Improved recommendation impact charts
- Shading for Usage now includes the 95th and 75th percentile total usage in addition to average total usage.
- Shading for Net impact more clearly explains the “gap” between current and recommended requests settings.
- Chart tooltips on the Impact tab now include Waste (overprovisioning) or Performance risk (underprovisioning) details, as shown below.

Easier to understand recommendation impact information
Redesigned page headers on the Overview, Cluster, and Namespace pages make it easier to understand projected savings at each level.

The new Optimization Score measures how well the current request settings align with Optimize Live’s recommendations (100 indicates perfect alignment). This score replaces the Overall Efficiency score.

In the page header, click More Information to reveal the recommended CPU and memory adjustments and their estimated cost impact.

Wed, 06 Dec 2023 08:04:44 +0000

New: Workloads Summary page
You can now view workload totals categorized by workload status, errors, and warnings.

In the left navigation menu, click Workloads.

Thu, 26 Oct 2023 08:04:44 +0000

UI enhancements when working with workloads:

Impact Overview graphs: Choose a time range
On the Impact tab of a workload details page, you can now zoom in or out to view different data points and the potential recommendation impact across different time intervals: 1 day, 1 week, 2 weeks, or 1 month.
Configure page: Enhanced validation of requests values
We now do more checks on the requests values that you enter. Most notably, we let you know if a CPU or memory value seems unexpectedly high or low.

Wed, 01 Feb 2023 11:04:44 +0000

Launch from the left navigation

Launch or switch between Optimize Live and Optimize Pro from the left navigation rather than from the tabs within an application. This update takes you to your applications and recommendations faster.

Tue, 06 Dec 2022 11:04:44 +0000

On the Configure Recommendations page:

In the Optional Settings section, you can now specify the CPU target utilization of the HPA recommendation.
In the Advanced Settings section, you can choose either of the following:
- Enable Guaranteed Quality of Service.
- Exclude Memory Limits, CPU limits, or both from recommendations.

To access the Advanced Settings, contact your StormForge sales rep.
