Cluster details

For each cluster, regardless whether workload or management cluster, you find a details page in the developer portal. The URI path of this page has the following schema:

/clusters/{MC_NAME}/{ORG_NAMESPACE}/{CLUSTER_NAME}

Here, MC_NAME is the name of the management cluster, ORG_NAMESPACE is the namespace in the management cluster holding the cluster resources, and CLUSTER_NAME is the name of the cluster.

About

The About panel shows various cluster details.

Tool links

The tools panel in the top right provides direct links to the following tools:

1. Cluster overview dashboard in the Grafana instance of this installation, to get an overview of the cluster’s health and performance. The dashboard also provides links allowing to drill deeper into workload metrics.

2. Alerts is a direct link into the alerting section of this installation’s Grafana instance.

3. Web UI is a link to the cluster details page in the legacy Giant Swarm web UI.

For clusters managed by Flux, this panel shows that the cluster is managed through GitOps. If possible, there is also a link shown to the repository location of the GitOps configuration.
