Resource Browser

Resource Browser lists all of the resources running in your cluster. You can use it to view, inspect, manage, and delete resources in your cluster. You can also create resources from the Resource Browser.
Resource Browser are helpful for troubleshooting issues. It supports multi-cluster.
Note: To provide permission to a user to view, inspect, manage, and delete resources, go to the Authorization > User Permissions section of Global Configurations. You can also provide permission via API token or Permission groups. Only super admin users will be able to see Kubernetes Resources tab and provide permission to other users to access Resource Browser.
Please also note that Resource Browser page is under the early version of development and its a Beta release.
Kubernetes Resources
The following resources are grouped in the categories:
Workloads displays workloads (Cronjob, Deployment, StatefulSet, DaemonSet, Job, and Pod resources) deployed to clusters in your current project. Includes each workload's name, status, type, number of running and total desired Pods, namespace, and cluster.
Config & Storage display ConfigMap, Secret, PersistantVolume, PersistentVolumeClaim, Pod DisruptionBudget, resources which are used by applications for storing data. The configMap and secret data are provided as local ephemeral storage, which means there is no long-term guarantee about durability. A PersistentVolume (PV) is a piece of storage in the cluster that has been provisioned by server/storage/cluster administrator or dynamically provisioned using Storage Classes. It is a resource in the cluster just like node. Whereas, A PersistentVolumeClaim (PVC) is a request for storage by a user which can be attained from PV. It is similar to a Pod. Pods consume node resources and PVCs consume PV resources.
Networking displays your project's Enpoints, NetworkPolicy and Service resources. Displays each resource's name, namespace, type, Cluster-IP, External-IP, Port(s), Age.
RBAC stands for Role-based access control which provides the authorization strategy for regulating access to cluster or resources based on the roles of individual users within your organization.
Custom Resource allows you to create your own API resources and define your own kind just like Pod, Deployment, ReplicaSet, etc.
The following resources are grouped as uncategoried:
** Events displays all the reports of an event in a cluster.
** Namespaces displays the current list of namespaces in a cluster.
Search and Filter Resources
You can search and filter resources by specific resource Kinds. You can also preview Manifest, Events, Logs, access Terminal by selecting ellipsis on the specific resource or Delete a specific resource.
Manifest
A manifest is a YAML file that describes each component or resource of your deployment and the state you want your cluster to be in once applied. Once you deploy, you can always edit your manifest file. A manifest specifies the desired state of an object that Kubernetes will maintain when you apply the manifest.
Events
An event is automatically generated in response to changes with other resources—like nodes, pods, or containers. For example, phases across a pod’s lifecycle transition from pending to running, or statuses like successful or failed may trigger a K8s event. The same goes for re-allocations and scheduling. These events are available until 15 minutes of deployment of the application.
Logs
Logs contain the logs of the Pods and Containers deployed which you can use for the process of debugging.
Create Kubernetes Resource
Note: As a pre-requisite, you must have a basic understanding of Kubernetes Cluster, Resources, Kinds.
You can create a Kubernetes resource by passing definition YAML file. You can create more than one resource by separating the resource YAMLs by ‘---’.
An example that shows the required fields and object specifications for a Kubernetes Deployment:
apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
  name: nginx-deployment
  labels:
     app: nginx
spec:
  replicas: 2
  selector:
    matchLabels:
       app: nginx
  template:
    metadata:
      labels:
        app: nginx
    spec:
      containers:
       - name: nginx
         image: nginx:1.14.2
         ports:
         - containerPort: 80
Click Create button on the upper right corner of the Kubernetes Resource Browser page.
Provide YAML containing K8s resource configuration and click Apply.
You will see the details of Kind, Name, Status and Message of the created resources.
Note: A message is displayed only when there is an error in the resource YAML.
If required, click Edit YAML to edit the YAML or click Close.
A new resource will be created or updated accordingly.
