Built-in Event: Abnormal termination correlation event with deployment markers

Kubernetes is gracefully terminating the resources. In new releases, our resources will be replaced with new ones. Kubernetes sends SIGTERM signal to pods.This signal lets the containers know they will be shut down soon. This behaviour causes lots of noises on our monitoring/alert notifications. We want to use deployment markers to decide if the Sigterm is expected or not.

    Hi @Guest , thank you for taking the time to provide your ideas to IBM. IBM has evaluated the request and has determined that it cannot be implemented at this time or does not align with our current strategy or roadmap.

    In 12 months, you will receive a notification that you can resubmit this request for consideration.

    If you have any additional feedback, thoughts or ideas, or if there is anything else I can do, please do not hesitate to reply to this message to continue the conversation.

    Very strongly agree with this! We see tons of noise with deployments from completely expected SIGTERMs, but for some reason Instana sees them as unexpected terminations. I would think Instana would consider SIGTERM a "clean" exit, but a SIGKILL is obviously unexpected and we should receive alerts.

    I'm really really hoping this gets prioritized soon and would love to hear an update from the team.
