Cluster Setup

Densify supports two use-cases for version 4 or higher of the Forwarder.

Single Kubernetes Cluster

In this configuration, data is collected from the Kubernetes cluster where your workloads, the Densify Forwarder and Prometheus are all running.

Single Cluster Config

Single Cluster Examples

• Kubernetes with Prometheus
• Kubernetes with Authenticated Prometheus, typical case for OpenShift

Multiple Kubernetes Clusters

In this configuration, data is collected from multiple Kubernetes clusters monitored by an observability platform. The Densify Forwarder can run anywhere (provided it can access that observability platform).

Multi-Cluster Config

Multi-Cluster Examples

• Kubernetes with observability platform using basic authentication
• Kubernetes with Amazon Managed Prometheus (AMP)
• Azure Monitor managed service for Prometheus (AzMP)

Docker images

The Docker image is available on Docker hub. Pull it using docker pull densify/container-optimization-data-forwarder:4.
