Infrastructure Dashboard Overview
On the Infrastructure > Clusters page, we can see a graphic of available clusters, the compute volume, memory usage, storage used, and the link to create a new cluster. Additionally, selecting the radio box show available options for details, editing, upgrading, scaling masters, scaling worker nodes, setting the cluster as the default, and deleting the cluster.
Clicking on any of the highlighted links shows the details of the node, connection status, component status, API server health, and K8s node status. Other links in the interface point to the Kubernetes dashboard. a kubeconfig file download link to access the k8s dashboard, and a link to the Grafana monitoring dashboard. It also denotes the deployment location, resource utilization, k8s version (with an additional link available if there is a k8s upgrade available), the container runtime used, and when the cluster was created.
The columns can be edited to show multiple types of information, including the following.
- UUID – The unique identifier of the cluster
- Name – The name of the cluster
- Connection status – Displays the status of the connection to the PMK management plane
- Platform9 Components – Displays the health of the PMK components
- API Server Health – Confirms the API server is responding on all nodes
- K8s Node Status – Details the status of the nodes in the Kubernetes cluster
- Links – Provides quick links to the Kubernetes dashboard, kubeconfig download, and the Grafana dashboard
- Deployment – Shows the deployment type
- Resource Utilization – Displays the CPU, Memory, and Storage information for the node
- K8s Version – Defines the version of Kubernetes
- Container Runtime – Displays the container runtime (CRI) being used
- Created at – Details when the cluster was created
- Updated at – Denotes when the last update took place
- Nodes – Provides a link to the nodes page
- Network Backend – Displays the container network interface type
- Containers CIDR – The assigned IP address range for the pods
- Services CIDR – The assigned IP address range for the services
- API endpoint – Shows the IP of the API endpoint
- Cloud provider – If using a cloud provider like AWS or GKE, it is displayed here
- Master Workloads – Stated if masters are enabled to run workloads
- Privileged – Stated if containers on the cluster are enabled to run in privileged mode
- VPN – Advised is VPN access is allowed
- Load Balancer – States whether a load balancer is in use on the cluster
- etcd Backup – States whether etcd backup is in permitted on the cluster
- Metadata – Displays any associated metadata for the cluster
