New clusters use OpenShift's default monitoring settings, while existing clusters retain their current configuration. Key changes include: platform metrics no longer persisted by default (previously 100 GiB EBS volumes), retention extended to 15 days (from 11), user workload monitoring disabled by default, and topology spread/tolerations no longer configured by default. New capabilities include configurable alert routing, operator observability for OLM operators in openshift-* namespaces, flexible metrics retention (in-cluster or remote), custom compute placement for monitoring components, and cost savings by removing persistence on dev/test clusters. Seven best practices are provided covering worker node configuration, external watchdog alerting, upgrade readiness, topology spread, pod placement, and retention tuning. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
