Cluster & workloads overviews

July 19, 2026 · View on GitHub

Klustr has two dashboard views that summarize a whole context set at a glance — one for cluster capacity, one for workload health. Both aggregate across every active context and honor the current namespace selection, so they work the same in single-cluster and aggregated mode.

Cluster overview

Under Cluster → Overview. Three donuts plus a couple of counts:

  • CPU and Memory — usage vs requests vs limits, against the cluster's allocatable / capacity. Usage comes from metrics.k8s.io; requests and limits are summed from running pods.
  • Pods — running pods vs the allocatable / capacity the nodes advertise.
  • Node count and namespace count.

Usage numbers need a metrics server. If metrics.k8s.io isn't available, the capacity/requests/limits parts still render and the usage slice is replaced with a short "metrics unavailable" note — see Workloads & debugging for the one-click metrics-server install.

Workloads overview

Under Workloads → Overview. One health bar per workload kind — Pods, Deployments, StatefulSets, DaemonSets, ReplicaSets, ReplicationControllers, Jobs and CronJobs:

  • The bar splits into healthy (green) and unhealthy (red).
  • Intentionally-idle resources aren't counted as broken: a scaled-to-zero Deployment/ReplicaSet, or a suspended CronJob, shows as a neutral segment rather than red.
  • Click a card to jump straight to that resource's list.

Below the cards is a recent events feed with a search box. In aggregated mode it spans every active context and tags each row with its context.

Refresh behavior

Both overviews refresh live: workload counts update on the debounced resource change stream, and everything re-polls periodically. The events feed is a real apiserver list (there is no Events informer), so it refreshes on the slower poll only rather than on every pod churn.
