Navigating Operator

Discover and examine your Kubernetes clusters and cloud native infrastructure using Operator mode.

Using Filters 🔗

Use filters to select the Kubernetes resources you want to view. Apply one or more filters — for example by namespace, kind, model, or label — to narrow the topology to the resources that matter. Combine filters to focus on a subset of your cluster without leaving Operator.

Search and Select Specific Resources 🔗

The search filter keeps resource names that contain the text. Search narrows what is drawn and does not select anything. Selecting a resource opens the Details panel. A new, empty view shows Nodes and Namespaces across the clusters you select. A design’s view is named <design>-View and filters on the design.meshery.io/id label. Every filter change refetches the snapshot and autosaves the open view. Operator draws a snapshot each time you load a view, change a filter, or change clusters.

Connecting with Kubernetes Pods 🔗

Operator supports connecting to Kubernetes pods via the following methods.

• Log Streaming: Learn how to live-tail logs from your Kubernetes pods and containers directly within the visual topology.
• Interactive Terminal: Learn how to establish an interactive shell session with your containers.

Working in Operator Mode 🔗

• Views: Save, open, share and export named perspectives of your clusters.
• Instance Details: Inspect the live state, metrics and events of any discovered resource.
• Performance Testing: Generate load against a Service or Ingress using a saved performance profile.
