Introduction

OpsRamp NextGen gateway builds on our battle tested and proven current gateway to address the growing demands around high-availability, scalability, ease-of-onboarding and the need to simplify the overall discovery and monitoring of our customers' ever growing Hybrid Cloud environments.

The cloud-native and microservices based NextGen gateway leverages the industry standard Kubernetes platform to deliver on it’s goals and as such is the first in the ITOM space to be bringing the power, flexibility and operational familiarity of Kubernetes eco-system to hybrid cloud discovery and monitoring.

With NextGen gateway we are also consolidating our collector technologies - both agent and agent less, via a lightweight bootstrap tool which simplifies collector onboarding into various target environments - bare-metal, virtualized, containerized and Kubernetes environments. This collector bootstrap, a small program, can be downloaded and executed on various OS platforms. Once executed, it will then deploy, register the specific collector type (agent, or a gateway) into the cloud platform and has the ability to start discovering and monitoring your hybrid environments automatically.

Limitation

At this point, the NextGen gateway does not support the scalability feature, so multiple replicas are not supported. This will be available in future releases.

Data Retention Policy

On loss of network connectivity, the gateway retains alert data for the last 24 hours and retains metric data for the last one hour.
