Your Dashboard

In this tutorial you'll sign in to KubeOpera, learn how the dashboard is organized, and read your cluster's health like an operator.

Time: about 10 minutes · You'll need: a KubeOpera account (see Installation).

Step 1 — Sign in​

Open your KubeOpera address and sign in with your email and password, or with Google, GitHub or your organization's single sign-on.

Where you land depends on your role:

You are…You land onWhat it's for
A platform administrator/dashboardOperating the platform: clusters, tenants, node pools and settings.
A tenant user/homeYour organization's workspace: CloudSpaces, apps, monitoring and AI advice.

If you're a new tenant user, you'll first see a short onboarding step while your CloudSpace is created — see Customer onboarding.

Step 2 — Get oriented​

Every page has the same layout:

  • Sidebar (left) — everything you can do, grouped by area.
  • Top bar — search, notifications, the cluster or CloudSpace selector, and your account menu.
  • AI Chat — open it from any page to ask questions about what you're looking at.
tip

If a page looks empty, check the selector in the top bar first — most pages show data for the selected cluster or CloudSpace.

Step 3 — Read the overview​

If you're an administrator: read your cluster's health​

On /dashboard, start with the Cluster overview cards:

  1. Health Score — above 80 is healthy; 60–79 needs attention; below 60 is a problem. Hover to see what's pulling it down.
  2. Ready Nodes and Restarting Pods — the quickest signs of trouble.
  3. CPU and Memory — how much headroom you have.
  4. Monthly Cost — your cluster's projected spend.

Scroll to Active health issues. Each card tells you what's wrong, where, and — often — how to fix it.

Then look at the Resource utilization charts. Is anything trending steadily up? That's worth a look before it becomes an incident.

If you're a tenant user: explore your workspace​

On /home you'll see:

  1. Your CloudSpaces — each with its status and quota usage.
  2. Your apps — health, replicas and recent deploys at a glance.
  3. AI Advisor — recommendations for your apps.
  4. Cost — what your workloads cost this month.

Step 4 — Ask the AI​

Open AI Chat and try:

  • "Summarize the health of this cluster."
  • "What's using the most CPU right now?"
  • "Is anything costing more than it should?"

Watch the tool calls as the assistant gathers live data to answer.

What you learned​

  • There are two experiences — platform administration and tenant workspace — and your role decides which you see.
  • The Health Score and active issues tell you where to look first.
  • The AI Chat can answer questions about anything on screen, using live data.
