KuberSee is an open source product that provides developers an easy way to visualize their Kubernetes clusters and obtain logs from their pods.
Background on Kubernetes:
Kubernetes is an open-source container orchestration tool that automates deployment and management of complex applications. Given the rise of microservices, Kubernetes was created to help easily scale and load balance containerized applications, allowing for easier development by remotely distributed teams while minimizing downtime for users. However, a common pain point for developers using Kubernetes is the steep learning curve. This is particularly true for newer developers joining the Kubernetes ecosystem in their companies — it can often be difficult to clearly see what’s going on under the hood. It is also common for developers to set up their clusters incorrectly, overburdening or over allocating node memory, leading to unnecessary costs.
Introducing KuberSee:
KuberSee is a monitoring desktop application for Kubernetes clusters that simplifies the day-to-day Kubernetes workflows. With KuberSee, developers receive a dashboard view of their Kubernetes data and obtain a snapshot summary of key metrics such as number of pods, nodes, and namespaces. Utilizing D3.js and powered by WebSockets, KuberSee visualizes real-time multi-line graphs of memory and CPU usage allowing developers to observe a clear picture of a given Kubernetes cluster’s health. Developers can also easily switch between namespaces.
In addition to displaying metrics, KuberSee provides engineers with an accessible and interactive view of their pods’ logs to help debug problems within a cluster. Since combing through log data can be a cumbersome task, KuberSee provides the functionality of searching for keywords to filter by log messages and the ability to export the log data into an CSV so it is easily shareable with others.
KuberSee is a simple tool for providing powerful insights into the complex operations of any Kubernetes cluster. To learn more and download, go to www.kubersee.com.
