Cluster Agent

This release includes bug fixes and following enhancements:

The overall memory utilization of Cluster Agent is improved.
Cluster Agent memory usage is optimised for the churn frequency of creating and deleting pods. The memory usage is not high if the churn frequency is >=3 minutes.
For example, If the churn frequency is 50 pods per minute (creating 50 pods and deleting those pods after a minute) in a cluster with 500 pods, then memory usage keeps increasing. However, if the frequency >= 3 minutes, then the usage is constant.

Summary

Database Agent

In the Metric Browser, the keys of one Database Collector get displayed under other Database Collectors.

For example, keys of Database Collector 1 can appear under Database Collector 2, even if the keys are not part of the Database Collector 2 query output.

This issue occurs when you create a custom metric that runs on multiple databases and returns multiple key-value pairs. In such scenarios, only the keys get duplicated, not the metric values.
