Time Travel
Modern microservices applications have a high degree of dynamism. Looking back in time at an issue is not so easy as objects may have disappeared because of the removal of services or scale-back. Container Observability allows you to go back in time to check what was in the environment at a point in time. Time travel helps to determine the state of change between the applications from the time of origin.
Container Observability’s Time Travel feature allows you to compare the current cluster state with previous cluster states. Some examples where Time Travel helps are:
Failure of pod or node
Network traffic flow issues between services
A state change in multiple clusters
A newly deployed pod due to the previous pod’s resource limit exceeded
A pod rescheduling or failed
You can monitor the previous behavior of the cluster in Time Travel for a selected time interval.
