k8sfoams 1.3.1

K8s pod foamtree visualizer

k8s-pod-foamtree

It's web server which uses ~/.kube/config file for presenting resource request set for pods. It uses foamtree package for visualization. Dashboard has two option for visualization:

• cpu
• memory

Foamtree view is refreshed automaticaly every 60 seconds by default. Refresh frequency might be change by range slider.

Node is represented by square shape box. Foams are pods. If pod contains more than one container pod foam is splited into sub-foams. Empty foam represents unused (free) resources avaiable on node.
