Skyhook’s cluster management provides comprehensive visibility into your Kubernetes infrastructure. Connect your clusters to monitor health, detect problems, inspect resources, and track certificate lifecycles, all from a unified interface.

​
What You Can Do

​
Monitor Cluster Health

Track real-time cluster metrics with automatic problem detection across 18+ issue types:
  • Pod/Container problems: CrashLoopBackOff, OOMKilled, ImagePullBackOff, high restart counts
  • Workload health: Degraded deployments, StatefulSets with unavailable replicas
  • Node conditions: Memory pressure, disk pressure, unschedulable nodes
  • Configuration issues: Container config errors, failed volume mounts
  • Resource capacity: CPU/memory requests vs limits with visual progress bars and overcommit warnings

​
Detect and Troubleshoot Problems

View active problems across your clusters with detailed context. Each problem type includes:
  • Severity classification: Critical, major, or minor
  • Affected resource count with direct filtering to see impacted pods/workloads
  • Temporal tracking: First observed, last seen, observation count, and duration
  • Remediation guidance: Specific steps to resolve each issue type
Problems are tracked in two states: Active (currently detected) and Recently Observed (resolved within the last 10 minutes but still monitored).

​
Inspect Kubernetes Resources

Drill down into any resource type with rich filtering and search:
  • 10 resource tabs: Nodes, Services, Ingresses, Deployments, Pods, ConfigMaps, Service Accounts, Jobs, Custom Resources, Events
  • Advanced filtering: By namespace, status/phase, problem type, with URL-based shareable filters
  • Problem detection: Automatic detection and filtering for 14+ pod problem types
  • Detail drawers: View complete specs, status conditions, and raw YAML for any resource
  • Inline logs viewer: Stream pod logs with search, level filtering, and JSON prettification

​
Track Certificates

Monitor cert-manager certificates with comprehensive status tracking:
  • Expiration monitoring: Days remaining countdown with 30-day warning threshold
  • Status conditions: Ready, Pending (Issuing), Error, or Unknown states
  • DNS coverage: View all domains covered by each certificate
  • Issuer tracking: See which ClusterIssuer or Issuer manages each certificate
  • Automatic detection: No configuration needed; certificates appear automatically once cert-manager is installed
Certificates are shown in the cluster health dashboard and accessible via Custom Resources in the Resource Viewer.

​
Measure Capacity and Utilization

Track resource usage with visual progress bars and namespace-level breakdowns:
  • Requests vs Limits: Separate bars showing guaranteed resources and maximum usage caps
  • Overcommit detection: Visual warnings when limits exceed 100% of node capacity
  • Namespace breakdown: See CPU/memory consumption per namespace to identify resource-heavy teams or applications
  • Pod capacity: Running pods vs allocatable pod count

How It Works

Skyhook connects to your clusters via the lightweight Cluster Connector. The connector runs as a single pod in your cluster and continuously syncs cluster state to Skyhook’s backend. It’s read-only and uses Kubernetes RBAC for permissions. Once connected, you can:
  1. View cluster health and problems in the Cluster View
  2. Browse all resources in the Resource Viewer
  3. Manage agent versions and configurations from the Clusters List

​
Getting Started

  1. Connect a Cluster - Register your cluster and install the Skyhook Connector
  2. View Your Clusters - See all connected clusters and their status
  3. Explore Cluster Health - Monitor problems and resource summaries
  4. Inspect Resources - Drill down into pods, services, and more
