Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management for Kubernetes console components

Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management for Kubernetes console components:

Access your console

  • Access from the Red Hat OpenShift console:

    1. From the left-hand navigation, click Networking > Routes

    2. From the Project menu, select the namespace where Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management for Kubernetes is installed.

    3. Find multicloud-console and click the URL from the Location column.

  • Access the console from the Red Hat OpenShift CLI:

    1. While logged in to OpenShift, run the following command to find the route, where <namespace-from-install> is the namespace where you installed Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management for Kubernetes:
    oc get routes -n <namespace-from-install>
    1. Find the multicloud-console name and the Host/Port columns to get your URL.

Welcome page

From the Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management for Kubernetes Welcome page, you get more information about the product and you can access header features, such as Search and Create resource. Also from the Header, you can click the Help (?) icon to view the About page and the documentation. From the User menu, you can access the Configure Client page. Additionally, you can use the Visual Web Terminal.

Observe environment details

Reorganize your dashboard. You can personalize your view of the Overview dashboard by reorganizing the resource overview cards. You can view the following information about your clusters:

  • Name of the cloud service with the number of clusters
  • Cluster compliance
  • Pod details
  • Pod status
  • Cluster resources (VCPU/Memory usage)
  • Storage usage

Additionally, the Heatmap displays color-coordinated boxes that represent the VCPU usage threshold of your nodes.

Filtering your results

You can personalize your view of the page by using the filtering feature. Click Filter results to specify what information is displayed on your page.

Automate infrastructure

Create clusters or import existing clusters. Scale up or down and delete clusters as needed. For more information, see Managing your clusters with Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management for Kubernetes

Manage applications (Technology preview)

Click New application to edit a .yaml file and create your application. Click Resources to view the information of each application. For more information about application resources, see Application management (Technology preview).

Viewing your pod health

View the pod health for all of your clusters by expanding the Heatmap.

Click Show details to view the map. The size of the color-coordinated boxes represents the number of nodes on your cluster. Hover your cursor over the box to view the response time of your cluster.

Topology page

The Topology page uses information from Weave Scope probe to display Kubernetes objects within a cluster. You can view hub cluster resources. As you configure managed clusters, you see more clusters in the Topology view.

To reduce the graphics on the page, you can filter the view by Clusters, Namespaces, and Labels. You can also filter the design by selecting the icon that represents the Kubernetes objects.

Learn more about the tabs that are available from the Topology page:

  • Clusters: You can monitor your cluster network, object network, and security policies in a graphical format. View your hub clusters, all your managed clusters, and monitor security violations.

  • Networking: View Kubernetes objects for each cluster and any networks between your Kubernetes objects. Objects display changes if they were recently started. Pods also indicate pending and failed status.

  • Policies: View the policy, policy placement, and clusters that are being validated. Check for violations for the selected policy.

Governance and risk dashboard

Use the Governance and risk dashboard to create and manage policies and policy controllers. For more information, see Governance and risk.

Search

For Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management for Kubernetes, Search provides visibility into your resources across all your clusters.

Note: You can type any text value in the Search box and results include anything with that value from any property, such as a name or namespace. For example, if you search for RedHat, you can receive results such as RedHat123.

For more specific search results, include the property in your search. For example, search for name:RedHat to search only in the name property.

  1. Click Search in the navigation menu.

  2. Type a word in the Search box, then Search finds your resources that contain that value.

    • As you search for resources, you receive other resources that are related to your original search result, which help you visualize how the resources interact with other resources in the system.

    • Search returns and lists each cluster with the resource that you search. For resources in the hub cluster, the cluster name is displayed as local-cluster.

    • Your search results are grouped by kind, and each resource kind is grouped in a table.

    • Your search options depend on your cluster objects. You can refine your results with specific labels. Search is case-sensitive when you query labels. See the following examples: name, namespace, status, and other resource fields. Auto-complete provides suggestions to refine your search. See the following example:

      • Search for a single field, such as kind:pod to find all pod resources.
      • Search for multiple fields, such as kind:pod namespace:default to find the pods in the default namespace.

    Notes:

    • Users are unable to search for values that contain an empty space.

    • Any user can search for resources, but results are based on your role-based access control assignment. Additionally, if you save and share a Search query with another user, returned results depend on access level for that user. For more information on role access, see Using RBAC Authorization in the Kubernetes documentation.

    • You can also search with conditions by using characters, such as >, >=, <, <=, !=.

      See the following example:

      • Search for kind:pod status:!Running to find all pod resources where the status is not Running.
      • Search for kind:pod restarts:>1 to find all pods that restarted at least twice.

  3. If you want to save your search, click the Save disk icon.
