Volt Diagnostics Pod for Kubernetes

The Volt Diagnostics pod for Kubernetes provides a number of tools to assist in managing and troubleshooting VoltDB databases. You start the diagnostics pod using Helm, then create a terminal session (using kubectl exec) and run the individual tools from the command line. See the online help or the appendix in the VoltDB Kubernetes Administrator's Guide for further information.

Changes Since the Last Release

Users of previous versions of the diagnostics pod should take note of the following changes that might impact their use of the diagnostics pod. See also the Volt Operator Release Notes for changes specific to the use of VoltDB on the Kubernetes platform.

1. Release D1.7.2 (September 03, 2025)

1.1.

Recent Changes

  • The previous Diagnostics Pod release was incomplete and did not allow upgrading to 1.7.1 from earlier versions. Do not use the 1.7.1 release.

  • This release adds an optional readiness probe to the Diagnostics Pod. The choice to enable the probe must be made using the enableReadinessProbe=true property during the initial installation of the pod and cannot be changed by upgrades. The default for the property is false; that is, no probe is created.

2.1.

The following high and critical CVEs were resolved:

CVE-2025-22874

5. Release D1.5 (March 7, 2025)

6. Release D1.4 (September 4, 2024)
