GCP Kubernetes Service Overview Dashboard

Using the GCP Kubernetes Service Overview dashboard you can get an overview of your GKE environment.

The GCP Kubernetes Service Overview dashboard helps you answer several key questions.

• How many clusters are configured in your environment and what is their average resource utilization?
• How many node pools are associated with a selected cluster?
• How many pods and containers are running on the nodes?

How to Use the Dashboard?

In the GCP Kubernetes Service Overview dashboard, the data is displayed at the GCP World level by default. You can filter Kubernetes clusters by project and by region. In addition, you can also check the node pools associated with a selected cluster, the average resource utilization of the cluster, number of pods, and the containers running on the nodes.

• Projects widget: Displays the total number of GCP projects being monitored at the GCP World level. Select a project from the table to refresh the dashboard and view information for a specific project.
• Regions widget: Select a region to filter the displayed information and view the data for a specific region.
• Kubernetes Clusters widget: Displays the total number of Kubernetes clusters for the selected project and region.
• Kubernetes Clusters widget: Displays the list of Kubernetes clusters based on the selected project/region and their details such as name, status, reserved cores, memory limit, and total capacity. The first Kubernetes cluster in the list is selected by default. Select a Kubernetes cluster to view the associated node pools, pods, and containers.
• Node Pool Count widget: Displays the total number of node pools for the selected cluster.
• Disk Utilization Average widget: Displays the average disk utilization for the selected cluster.
• Memory Utilization Average widget: Displays the average memory utilization for the selected cluster.
• Kubernetes Node Pool widget: Displays the list of Kubernetes node pools for the selected cluster and their details such as name, version, image type, instance groups, and disk size.
• Pods and Container Count widget: Displays the total number of Kubernetes pods and containers for the selected Kubernetes node pool.
• Kubernetes Pods widget: Displays the list of Kubernetes pods for the selected Kubernetes node pool and their details such as name, termination grace period, QOS class, and volume capacity.
• Kubernetes Containers widget: Displays the list of Kubernetes containers for the selected Kubernetes node pool and their details such as name, memory limit, limit cores, and volume mounts.
