Kubernetes reduction of monitored namespaces

[vpasinelli]

Hi, we are considering reducing the monitoring of some K8s namespaces to be able to contain license usage. We use the Classic fullstack, we have applied some rules of Container monitoring

However, even if we have applied this rule we still see the monitored namespace and cannot exclude it. Do you have any solution or had a similar experience or if you have other advice for the reduction of monitored entities would be really helpful.

Thanks 🙂

Hi!
In classic full stack and Cloud Native Full Stack the licensing is billed based on the memory of the cluster's node, it doesn't depends by the number/memory of namespace monitored.
In your case you, you should migrate to application-only approach and using a namespace selector
