# View Kubernetes logs and metrics

> Watch workloads, pod logs, node utilization and control-plane health from the dashboard

<sub>Updated August 24, 2026</sub>

The cluster page shows the following without any setup or port-forwarding:

* **Overview / KPI strip** — nodes ready, pods, CPU and memory across the cluster, plus **control-plane health**: etcd latency p99 and 24-hour restart counts. Green means the control plane is healthy; sustained etcd latency above 100 ms or restarts indicate a problem on our side that we are alerted on.
* **Workloads** — everything running in the cluster, read live from the cluster's API server. Read-only: you deploy and change workloads with kubectl, Helm or GitOps; this tab is for tracking. Five sub-tabs:

  * **Deployments / StatefulSets / DaemonSets** — each row shows the namespace, **Ready** count (`2/3` = 2 of 3 replicas ready), the container image with its tag, age, and a status: **Healthy** (all replicas ready), **Pending** (not ready yet, but created less than 10 minutes ago — still starting), **Degraded** (not all replicas ready past that window — worth investigating: check the pod's logs in the Logs tab).
  * **Services** — type, cluster IP and ports of every Service.
  * **Ingresses** — the HTTP routes into the cluster and their hosts.

  Filter by name or namespace to find a specific workload. A workload stuck **Degraded** with a rising restart count in the Logs tab is the usual sign of a crash loop or a failing image pull.

* **Metrics** — live utilization snapshot from the cluster's metrics-server: cluster-wide CPU, memory, pods and readiness, with a per-node breakdown. Refreshed every 60 seconds.

* **Pods & logs** — live pod list with streaming logs (tail, since, previous container).
* **Nodes** — per-node readiness (Ready / Not ready / Cordoned), CPU and memory.
* **Activity** — every action on the cluster from anyone in your org (dashboard or API), plus lifecycle events: provisioning steps, scaling, autoscaler actions, warnings. Retained for 90 days, exportable as CSV.

The same data is available on the [metrics](/api-reference/kubernetes/get-cluster-metrics) and [events](/api-reference/kubernetes/list-cluster-events) API endpoints. For monitoring inside the cluster, install **Grafana** or **kube-prometheus-stack** from [App Hub](/products/build/kubernetes/quickstart-guides/install-an-app).
