We're excited to share some important updates regarding the evolution of the platform health monitoring capabilities for VMware Tanzu Platform. Our goal is to ensure you continue to have the most robust and efficient platform management and monitoring tools at your fingertips.

Looking Ahead with Tanzu Hub:

We're thrilled to announce that a new, enhanced version of Tanzu Hub has arrived with Tanzu Platform 10.3, bringing with it all the powerful features you've come to rely on from Healthwatch, and so much more! This next generation of observability is designed to provide unparalleled insights into your application environment and platform at scale.

Transitioning from Healthwatch:

To ensure a smooth transition, Healthwatch 2.3.x will remain supported through the lifecycle of Tanzu Platform for Cloud Foundry 6.0. Here are the important dates:

• “Stabilization” date is 31-December-2025
• End of Service (EOS) date is 31-October-2026
• End of Life (EOL) is also 31-October-2026

The final release of Healthwatch is planned for on or before the Stabilization date of December 31, 2025. This extension allows ample opportunity to seamlessly migrate to Tanzu Hub. While Healthwatch will technically function beyond its EOL, we strongly recommend leveraging the enhanced capabilities and continued support within Tanzu Hub. Our Tanzu team is ready to partner with you to ensure Tanzu Hub is available for your Platform team in the coming months.

Unlock Unprecedented Efficiency with Tanzu Hub:

Tanzu Platform 10.3 now features full OpenTelemetry (OTEL) compliance. This significant advancement in Tanzu Hub means substantial resource optimization, including impressive vCPU savings compared to Healthwatch and Loggregator. Imagine eliminating the need for Doppler VM, TrafficController VMs, and most Nozzles in the majority of customer environments! Our large-scale internal testing has shown a cost savings of more than 33% over Healthwatch when utilizing Tanzu Hub, in addition to its powerful Fleet Management capabilities, which are exclusively available within Tanzu Hub.

To ensure a seamless transition from Healthwatch to Tanzu Hub, version 10.3 incorporates errands within the Platform Services Tile designed to facilitate the migration of custom dashboards, alerts, and metrics, thereby preserving data integrity throughout the process. Learn More

We are confident that Tanzu Platform 10.3 will empower your teams with superior insights and efficiency, driving even greater value from your Tanzu investments.
