The Red Hat OpenShift Service Mesh (OSSMC) plugin is an extension to the OpenShift Container Platform web console that provides visibility into your Service Mesh. With the OSSMC plugin installed, a new Service Mesh menu option is available in the left-hand navigation of the web console, as well as new Service Mesh tabs that enhance the existing Workloads and Services console pages. The features of the OSSMC plugin are very similar to those of the standalone Kiali Console. The OSSMC plugin does not replace the Kiali Console, however, so you can still access the standalone Kiali Console.
