Nodes page in the Kubernetes view


The Nodes page is designed to provide capacity management insights for the Kubernetes nodes. Each page contains additional tabs, each of which presents capacity and efficiency KPIs related to the resources relevant for the analyzed entity. By default, some columns are hidden. You can show or hide columns using the action menuaction_menu.pngthat is located next to the table title.

Capacity

The Capacity tab is designed to provide a summary of the key KPIs for managing capacity of Kubernetes nodes.

Column name

Meaning

Statistics

Metrics

Node

Name of the node. Clicking on one of the nodes in this column takes you to the Node details page in the Kubernetes view.

Not Applicable


Cluster

Name of the cluster that the node is running on.

Not Applicable


Days To Saturation

Estimated number of days before one of the resources (CPU or Memory) of the node breaches the configured warning threshold.
If the resource usage has already exceeded thresholds, it displays Saturated.

Average of the hourly time series values are used for the estimation calculation

Detailed information about a specific node

After you click on the node in the Node column, the Node details page is displayed. You can use the sorting and filtering options on the page to find a specific node.   

Section or Panel

Description

General details section

General details, such as node name and type are displayed. The type is Kubernetes - Node.

Related Information panel

Clicking the links in the Related Information panel displays the other information such as image analysis.

Summary tab

A quick graphical summary of the CPU, memory, and network data, and number of pods of the node. Core metrics for the selected entity are displayed as analysis charts, depending on available data.

Configuration Details tab

The configuration matrix for the selected node.
