Starling with Common Services 3.

Starting with IBM Cloud Pak for Integration (CP4I) v2021.2, which uses IBM Common Services 3.6, there are two monitoring service modes available for tracking system health and performance:

OCP Monitoring (OpenShift Container Platform Monitoring) – This is the native OpenShift monitoring system that provides observability for the entire cluster, including nodes, pods, and application workloads. It uses Prometheus for metrics collection and Grafana for visualization.

CS Monitoring (Common Services Monitoring) – This is the IBM Cloud Pak for Integration-specific monitoring service, which provides additional observability features specifically for IBM Cloud Pak components. It integrates with OpenShift but focuses on Cloud Pak services and applications.

Option B (OpenShift Common Monitoring) is incorrect: While OpenShift has a Common Monitoring Stack, it is not a specific mode for IBM CP4I monitoring services. Instead, it is a subset of OCP Monitoring used for monitoring the OpenShift control plane.

Option C (CP4I Monitoring) is incorrect: There is no separate "CP4I Monitoring" service mode. CP4I relies on OpenShift's monitoring framework and IBM Common Services monitoring.

Option E (Grafana Monitoring) is incorrect: Grafana is a visualization tool, not a standalone monitoring service mode. It is used in conjunction with Prometheus in both OCP Monitoring and CS Monitoring.
