Container Service for Kubernetes:ack-sysom-monitor component release notes

Last Updated:Jul 29, 2025

ack-sysom-monitor is a kernel-level container monitoring component for operating systems provided by Container Service for Kubernetes for ACK clusters. This topic describes the basic information, usage notes, and release notes of the ack-sysom-monitor component.

Component introduction

System Operation & Maintenance (SysOM) is a one-stop operating system O&M platform developed by the OpenAnolis community SysOM SIG. You can use this platform to perform complex operating system management tasks, such as host management, system monitoring, abnormal diagnosis, log audit, and security control. As a monitoring component of SysOM, ack-sysom-monitor collects and enhances metrics at the kernel layer. ack-sysom-monitor has low resource consumption and uses the eBPF technology to collect in-depth metrics about nodes and containers. The component can be used in scenarios such as system jitter, high latency, resource leaks, and abnormal pod memory. For more information, see SysOM kernel-level container monitoring.

In addition, the ack-sysom-monitor component exposes monitoring metrics that are based on standard Prometheus metric definitions. For more information about the metrics, see Metric description.

Billing of ack-sysom-monitor

After the ack-sysom-monitor component is enabled, related components automatically send monitoring metrics to Managed Service for Prometheus. These metrics are considered as custom metrics. Fees are charged for custom metrics.

Before you enable this feature, we recommend that you read Billing overview to understand the billing rules of custom metrics. The fees may vary based on the cluster size and number of applications. You can follow the steps in View resource usage to monitor and manage resource usage.

Usage notes

For more information about how to use the ack-sysom-monitor component, see Enable the ack-sysom-monitor monitoring feature.
