Guided configuration and column picker in Kubernetes Monitoring

Guided configuration steps in Kubernetes Monitoring let you set up a Cluster by describing your environment instead of tuning Alloy yourself. That means there’s no need for:

• Working out how much CPU and memory the collectors need, when they should scale, and whether they should buffer to disk
• Deciding which telemetry to switch on

Pick Lightweight to run one collector on each Node, Standard to add a collector that aggregates data across the whole Cluster, or Scalable to scale the collectors automatically and buffer to disk, so a burst of traffic doesn’t cost you data.

The column picker lets you adjust columns in Cluster, namespace, Node, workload, Pod, and container lists to match what you actually watch. Hidden columns are not queried, meaning a longer list can load faster without them.
