Cluster Graph

The Cluster Graph provides a visual overview of the resources in your cluster and the relationships between them.

Opening the Graph

Click Cluster Graph in the sidebar under the Workspace section.

What It Shows

The graph is rendered with ReactFlow and displays nodes and edges representing Kubernetes resources and their ownership/dependency relationships. Typical connections include:

  • Deployment → ReplicaSet → Pods
  • StatefulSet → Pods
  • CronJob → Job → Pods
  • Service → Pods (via label selectors)

Each node in the graph is labeled with the resource kind and name. Color coding distinguishes resource types.

Interacting with the Graph

  • Pan — Click and drag on the background to move around the graph.
  • Zoom — Scroll to zoom in and out. Use the zoom controls in the corner.
  • Select — Click a node to highlight it and its connections.
  • Fit to screen — Use the fit button to center and resize the graph to show all nodes.

Use Cases

  • Understand how a Deployment relates to its ReplicaSets and Pods at a glance.
  • Identify orphaned resources that have no owner.
  • Audit a namespace's overall resource structure before making changes.
