Support for Kubernetes 1.35
LM Container Chart version 13.0.0 is now certified for compatibility with Kubernetes version 1.35. For more information, see Support Matrix for Kubernetes Monitoring.
Support for OpenShift 4.19
LM Container Chart version 13.0.0 is now certified for compatibility with OpenShift 4.19. For more information, see Support Matrix for Kubernetes Monitoring.
Kubernetes Job Monitoring using LM Logs
You can now monitor Kubernetes Jobs more efficiently by ingesting job events as logs instead of creating them as resources. This improves scalability in highly dynamic environments.
In addition, you can route Kubernetes Job logs to a dedicated Logs partition for better isolation and operational control.
To use this capability, upgrade to lm-container Helm chart version 13.0.0 or later.
KSM Version Upgrade in lm-container Helm Charts
The lm-container Helm charts now use kube-state-metrics (KSM) version 7.1.0, providing compatibility with newer Kubernetes versions.
Improved Argus Logging
You can now gain clearer visibility into platform-level Kubernetes throttling through improved Argus logging and enhanced diagnostic signals.
Fluentd Buffer Configuration Improvements
You can now configure Fluentd with file buffer support and expanded memory buffer parameters to improve log ingestion reliability and stability.
This enhancement enables mounting a file buffer path when the buffer type is set to file and introduces customizable memory buffer parameters for better control over ingestion behavior.
Added Security Updates
LogicMonitor has added security updates to the internal components of LM Container.
End of Life (EOL) for Legacy Versions 5, 6, 7, and 8 for LM Container and Argus
In a future release of LogicMonitor, support for legacy LM Container builds and Argus versions 5, 6, 7, and 8 will be discontinued. If you are running these versions, upgrade to a supported LM Container release to continue receiving updates and support.
The latest LM Container releases provides the following benefits:
- Improved monitoring accuracy using updated and actively maintained code paths
- The latest security patches and compliance updates required for modern Kubernetes environments
- Ongoing compatibility with newer Kubernetes versions and container runtimes
If your LM Container installation is running Argus version 8 or later, use the LM Upgrade Wizard or the CLI to complete the upgrade.
For Argus version 7 or earlier, migrate these deployments to LM Container before upgrading. You can migrate existing Kubernetes cluster configurations using either of the following procedures in the product documentation:
Running a supported LM Container version ensures continued compatibility with newer Kubernetes versions and container runtimes and preserves active LogicMonitor support.
For more information about this deprecation, including timeline details and further removal updates, see Upcoming End of Life (EOL) for Legacy Versions 5, 6, 7, and 8 for Legacy LM Container & Argus in the LM Community.
If you have any questions or need assistance during this transition, contact the Support team or your Customer Success Manager.
Fixed an issue that prevented new Kubernetes pods from being added when duplicate IP addresses were detected. This issue occurred when failed pods retained IP addresses that conflicted with active pods, resulting in device addition failures due to hostname IP duplication.
This fix improves Argus log monitoring behavior and ensures that pods sharing previously assigned IP addresses no longer block new pod registration.
LogicModules Releases
This section lists the LogicModules that are new in this release, updated in this release, or will be removed in a future release. Changes related to the LogicModule feature will be listed in the General Updates section.
New LogicModules
