We run over 4,000 cronjobs per day in AWS EKS, and the total number of metrics in the Netdata database is growing at a rate of 300,000 per day.
How can I avoid collecting metrics from cronjob pods or filter them by pod name?
Hi, @Sergey_Diatlov. Try adding to Child netdata.conf the following:
[plugin:cgroups]
enable by default cgroups names matching = !*cronjob* *
Note: You may need to replace !*cronjob* with a different pattern. Check your instance names and choose something unique to reliably exclude cron jobs.
I think we should disable collecting cronjobs by default. Thanks for raising this issue.
Hi, @ilyam8. Thank you! It works
