Shareable links

The view is encoded in the URL hash, so a link reproduces exactly what the sender saw and any view can be bookmarked:

http://localhost:8080/#ctx=prod&view=3d&groupBy=zone&q=ns%3Apayments

Every embedded dashboard and Try it link on this site is such a link into the live demo. This one opens demo-shop in 3D, grouped by zone, colored by QoS, with the checkout namespace highlighted: open it

Parameter Values Default
ctx Context name as listed in your kubeconfig (the name, not its position) the active context
view 2d, 3d 2d
metric cpu, mem, or an extended resource such as nvidia.com/gpu cpu
colorBy node, qos node
groupBy none, zone, region, nodePool, instanceType, capacityType none
memUnit MiB, GiB, TiB GiB
q A query, URL-encoded empty
wl Pinned workload, e.g. web-api none
  • The URL updates as you change the view. Parameters at their default are left out, and ctx is always written.
  • The URL is replaced in place, so typing a query does not fill your browser history.
  • Pasting a link into a tab that is already open applies it. A parameter the link leaves out goes back to its default.
  • A context that is not in your kubeconfig falls back to the active one, and a notice above the map says so. A resource the context cannot allocate falls back to CPU, as when switching contexts. Any other unknown value uses its default. Try it
  • A pinned workload that matches no pod in the context is dropped, so it cannot dim the whole map.
  • Zoom, Refresh and the tweaks panel are not part of the link.

The demo also understands ?embed=1 before the hash, which starts it with the sidebar collapsed and adds a button that opens the same view full-page. See Synthetic mode.
