Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • After being restarted the collectors (Vector) pods, the KubeAPI got unresponsive
  • The OpenShift cluster got unresponsive observing a high number of KubeAPI requests coming from the serviceAccount used by the collectors pods
  • Observed in the control-plane nodes a high cpu and memory usage suddenly. Reviewing the KubeAPI metrics, it was observed a peak or requests to the KubeAPI coming from the serviceAccount used by the Red Hat OpenShift Logging collector pods.
