Prometheus histogram metrics
Prometheus histogram metrics are now ingested by default.
- The
_sum
and_count
parts of the histogram are ingested as dedicated counter metrics.
For example, the istio_request_duration_milliseconds
histogram metric results in two counter metrics:
istio_request_duration_milliseconds_sum.count
istio_request_duration_milliseconds_count
This feature produces additional metrics and it's subject to Davis data units (DDU) licensing.
Labels for Kubernetes service
On the Kubernetes service page, the Kubernetes service labels are now displayed in the Properties and tags section.
Histogram metrics in the Istio metrics section
On the Kubernetes workload, namespace, and service pages, a new Response time chart is added to the Istio metrics section.
