See how the cluster is doing
Every cluster opens on its Overview. Four tiles say how many nodes are ready, how many pods are running, how many workloads are healthy, and how many warnings came in the last hour. Each tile links to its list, already filtered to what’s wrong.Below them, CPU and memory show what’s in use next to what’s requested, limited and allocatable, with the last hour as a line. Needs attention lists the objects in trouble, and Recent warnings the events that explain them.
The namespace menu at the top scopes every page. It starts in your kubeconfig context’s namespace, and remembers your choice per cluster. More about the overview.
Find what's failing
Open Workloads (G then W). Every Deployment, StatefulSet, DaemonSet, Job and CronJob is in one list, with its status, ready pods and the CPU and memory its pods use. Whatever is failing sorts to the top, whatever its kind.
Statuses read the way you’d say them: Unavailable Degraded Running Ready. The chips above the list keep only what’s Failing, Warning, In progress, Healthy or Inactive. How health works.
Look closer
Click a row, or move to it with ↓ and press ↵. Its details open next to the list, so you keep your place: the facts that matter for its kind, its pods and why they restart, its events, logs and YAML.
With the panel open, ↑ and ↓ open each row in turn, and Esc closes it. The detail panel.
Read the logs
The Logs tab of a workload merges every one of its pods, in the order lines were written, each marked with its pod. Pods that start later join in. Keep only errors or warnings, leave a pod out, or search.
A pod also has a Shell tab, for a terminal in its containers. Logs · Shells and debug containers.
Fix it, safely
The open object’s actions are right there: the common ones as buttons, the rest under ⋯ (or .). Every dialog names the cluster and shows the 
Once it’s done, the notification offers Undo for changes that can be taken back, like a scale. Changing things safely.
kubectl command it amounts to. KubeStacks checks your permissions first, and disables what you can’t do, saying why.Go anywhere from the keyboard
Press ⌘K. Type a few letters to jump to any view, any object already loaded, a namespace or another cluster, or to run an action on the object you have open.
Every view also has a G shortcut, shown when you hover it in the sidebar, and ? lists them all. Keyboard shortcuts.
