High Scale log collection in Azure Monitor - Container Insights

[Guest DalanMendonca]

Container Insights is Azure Monitor’s solution for collecting logs from your Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) clusters. As adoption of AKS continues to grow, we are seeing an increasing number of customers with log scaling needs that hit the limits of log collection in Container Insights.

 

 

 

We are happy to announce High Scale mode in Container Insights to help customers achieve a higher log collection throughput from their AKS clusters.

 

 

 

When High Scale mode is enabled, Container Insights does multiple configuration changes leading to a higher overall throughput. These include using a more powerful agent setup, using a different data pipeline, allocating more memory for agent, and more. All these changes are made in the background by the service and do not require input or configuration from customers.

 

High Scale mode impacts only the data collection layer (with a new DCR) – the rest of the experience remains the same. Data flows to our existing tables, your queries and alerts work as before too. High Scale mode is available to all customers but requires customers to opt-in to use.

 

 

 

To get started with High Scale mode, please see our documentation at High scale logs collection in Container Insights (Preview) - Azure Monitor.
