Tips

Namespace Filter Usage

Use the namespace dropdown to view only resources in a specific namespace. You can exclude system namespaces (kube-system) and view only application namespaces.

Auto Refresh

Enable Auto 30s during operational monitoring to automatically refresh data every 30 seconds.

AI Analysis

You can analyze with the AI Assistant using queries like "kube-system namespace Pod list", "Find Pending status Pods", "Analyze Pods on a specific node", etc.
