Red Hat OpenShift

Based on Kubernetes, Red Hat OpenShift is a next generation platform for developing, deploying, and running containerized applications, conveniently, and at scale. DESK OneAgent is container-aware and comes with built-in support for out-of-the-box whitebox monitoring for OpenShift. Therefore, DESK supports full-stack monitoring for OpenShift, i.e. monitoring from the application down to the infrastructure layer. However, if you don't have access to the infrastructure layer, DESK provides also the option of application-only monitoring.

Full-stack vs. application-only monitoring

OpenShift full-stack monitoring	OpenShift application-only monitoring
For OpenShift environments that allow running privileged containers on nodes Out-of-the-box, automated cluster and workload monitoring One-shot, setup once, monitor everything with DESK OneAgent DESK OneAgent auto-injection of code modules into pods for full-stack monitoring Rolled out via Kubernetes-native vehicles like OneAgent Operator or DaemonSet	For locked-down OpenShift environments without access to nodes Workload monitoring on a per Docker image basis, no cluster nodes visibility DESK OneAgent code modules integrated with every Docker image DESK OneAgent universal-injection of code modules Rolled out as part of normal OpenShift workloads
