Kubernetes Custom Dashboards

Custom Dashboards are user-defined visualizations that display specific metrics and data relevant to a Kubernetes cluster. These dashboards are highly customizable and can be tailored to a specific use case, allowing users to create visualizations that are meaningful and actionable.

How To Create Custom Dashboards

To begin, go to the Dashboard feature in the navigation bar, and then click the Create Dashboard button located in the top right corner.

Once the new dashboard has been created, you will need to assign it a name and start adding widgets to it (you can add up to 20 widgets to each dashboard).

Two options for creating widgets:

  1. Create a new widget

  2. Use a previously saved widget

To create a widget in Kubernetes, follow these steps:

  • Widget type: Choose a widget type such as a Line chart, Bar chart, Pie chart, Table chart, or Free text.

  • Select a component: Choose between cost or unit economics. The business matrix will be available soon.

  • Data visualization: Select the visualization for the widget, such as Line chart, Bar chart, Pie chart, Table chart, or Bubble map.

  • Data Type: Select the data type for the widget, such as Cost, Total coverage, Saving plan coverage, Reserved instance coverage, Spot coverage, or On-demand coverage.

  • Filters: Choose your Kubernetes costs and select relevant Kubernetes drill-downs.

  • Group By: Group costs by Kubernetes resources such as namespace, deployment, and cluster or by labels such as node labels and pod labels to see specific costs in the widget.

  • Periodical Range: The widget will report daily by default, but you can manually change it to weekly or monthly.

  • Widget name: Give the new widget a name.

  • Advanced Settings: Give your widget a description if relevant or choose a cost type.

Once you have added widgets to your custom dashboard, you have several options to manage them. You can edit a widget, duplicate it, download it as a CSV file for further analysis, or delete it.
