K8 Resources Overview #

BuildPiper provides native visibility into the operational state of key Kubernetes resources directly within the platform. Users can monitor, assess health, and troubleshoot from the BuildPiper UI without switching to native Kubernetes tooling such as kubectl or Lens.

Supported Resource Views #

Cluster Nodes

Monitor node status, labels, node type, and readiness directly from the BuildPiper UI.

Namespaces

View namespace status, quotas, CPU and memory usage, and raw YAML configuration.

Pods

Inspect pod namespace, node placement, labels, status, duration, probes, restarts, and volume mounts.

Cluster Nodes Overview #

BP provides a comprehensive, real-time view of all nodes in your cluster, clearly indicating whether each node is in a Ready or Not Ready state. This allows users to monitor infrastructure and review key details such as node status, labels, and node types across the cluster.

How to Access / Navigate

Login to BP → Click on your Cluster → Click Nodes Available from the left side panel

Note: BP offers a read-only view of Kubernetes cluster nodes in this section. Admin privileges are required to access this functionality.

Namespace Overview #

BP provides a centralised view of all namespaces in the cluster, including operational status such as Active, Terminating, or Failed, configured resource quotas, and current CPU and memory usage per namespace.

How to Access / Navigate

Login to BP → Click on your Cluster → Click Manage Namespace from the left side panel

Pods Overview #

BuildPiper serves as a centralised management hub by establishing a direct communication link with the Kubernetes cluster to ingest and display real-time operational data. The Pods view provides a comprehensive map of the cluster workload, identifying the namespace and node where each pod is scheduled, along with labels, current status, and execution duration.

Pod Diagnostics

Users can drill down into liveness and readiness probe states, restart counts, and volume mount details.

Live Operational State

The interface helps users move from high-level inventory to deep diagnostic inspection of pod health and utilisation.

How to Access / Navigate

Login to BP → Click on your Cluster → Click Pods Available from the left side panel

Note: Admin privileges are required to access pod-level Kubernetes visibility and diagnostics.
