Camel Dashboard monitoring interface

We’re happy to announce the new release of Camel Dashboard components, bringing important updates and improvements across the stack.

What’s New

Camel Monitor Operator 0.2.1

This patch release of the Camel Monitor Operator includes stability improvements and bug fixes building on the solid foundation of the 0.2.0 release.

Important: The operator now uses the CamelMonitor custom resource (shortname cmon) instead of the legacy CamelApp resource introduced in version 0.2.0.

Camel Dashboard Console 0.5.0

The latest console release includes compatibility with new CamelMonitor custom resource while keeping backward compatibility with CamelApp custom resource when monitoring Camel applications on OpenShift.

Camel Dashboard OpenShift All 4.21.2

The umbrella Helm chart has been updated to bundle the latest versions of all components, providing a seamless installation experience for OpenShift 4.21.

  1. Open the OpenShift Console
  2. Navigate to +Ecosystem → Software Catalog

Upgrading from 4.21.1

Important: Helm does not automatically upgrade CRDs during chart upgrades. Version 4.21.2 introduces new CRDs from camel-monitor-operator v0.2.1. You must manually apply these CRDs before running helm upgrade:
