    Fixed

    Added

    • Add Network Traffic Analysis Overview dashboard

    Changed

    • Improve Network Traffic Analysis Dashboard Performance
      • [performance] Re-use panel queries, which gladly reduces the number of queries made to the backend, and ease maintenance
      • [performance] Change Pie Charts query types from range to instant
      • [performance] Set maximum datapoints to 500 and minimal interval to 2mn
      • [ux] Change destination pie charts to only show top 10 destinations
      • [ux] Change the top list panels to use pagination rather than only showing top 10 elements
      • [ux] Change bottom graphs to use stacked lines and added list of values + total count
      • [ux] Remove the per-namespace section which was merely a duplicate of the top one with additional namespace filter. All panels now have a namespace filter which default to all namespace, therefore keeping the old behavior of the top panels and also allowing behavior of the bottom ones at the same time.
      • [ux] Add links between both Network Traffic Analysis dashboards
      • [ux] Add Include non-namespaced toggle to filter/include non-namespaced network traffic
      • [ux] Improve documentation panel
      • [ux] Add annotations for CiliumNetworkPolicies events

      • [ux] Show percentage and all values in tooltip on destination panels
      • [maintenance] Move subnets regex to a constant
    • NGINX Ingress controller dashboard: reworked variables
