Getting real time mertrics on Pod level for CPU/Memory requests and Limits?

[SquupS]

Hi,

is it planned to implement real time metrics, so that the user can see what has been set as request and limit (CPU and memory) per pod and how much is utilized in %?

I think that would be a great addition, if not already present and I missed a switch or so :-)

Best regards

Hi @SquupS . We do show metrics if the metrics-server is installed in the cluster which does show the current utilization. Can you check if this is what you mean?
We're also working on time based charts, powered by Prometheus.

Is there the ability to translate Memory to Mi as opposed to the raw value?

@thepaulmacca Can you show a screenshot so I know exactly which part of the UI we're talking about?

@joaquimrocha I'm only on mobile atm sorry, but if it helps it was when looking at HPAs

Sorry for the late reply. So I am thinking of something a "competitor" of yours if offering on Pod level

This would really help tracking down resource issues. As of now, I always have to use something like for example k9s to get the current metrics of the pod. Maybe this calrifies a bit where I was originally coming from.

Best regards

Thanks @SquupS . We'll take a closer look and see how we can improve our metrics display.

@joaquimrocha Hi!
Any updates on this issue?
App is great, but this really useful feature is missing :)

Is this the prometheus plugin? On my local env I see:

@JoniJnm Sorry, I wasn't clear, my question was about pods requests/limits info (and maybe % of utilization from real time use).
Now there is no way to understand what limits/requests pod has from UI.
It would be nice at least have cpu/memory requests/limits in pod details table among name, labels, etc (and also per container as pod may have many of them with separated requests/limits).

Agree, this is very useful information.
It's in the Grafana dashboard if you have that installed, but would be simpler for our less experienced users if it were in Headlamp too.
Example from Grafana

And from k9s
