Resource Viewer & Topology

Skyhook gives you three ways to look at what’s actually running in your clusters:

1. Cluster Resources — a full Kubernetes resource browser, scoped to a cluster, with a categorized sidebar and detail drawer
2. Cluster Topology — a live visual map of a cluster’s workloads and how they connect
3. Service Runtime — a per-service view showing the service’s topology, connectivity, and Kubernetes resources in one place

All three pull data live from the cluster via the Skyhook agent, so what you see matches what kubectl would show you — no stale GitOps state, no manual refresh.

​

Cluster Resources browser

Navigate to Clusters → <cluster> → Resources to open the cluster-wide resource browser.

​

Sidebar navigation

The left sidebar groups resource kinds into categories:

• Favorites — pin the kinds you look at most often
• Workloads — Deployment, StatefulSet, DaemonSet, Job, CronJob, ReplicaSet, Pod
• Networking — Service, Ingress, NetworkPolicy, Gateway, HTTPRoute
• Configuration — ConfigMap, Secret, HorizontalPodAutoscaler
• Storage — PersistentVolume, PersistentVolumeClaim, StorageClass
• Access Control — ServiceAccount, Role, RoleBinding, ClusterRole, ClusterRoleBinding
• Cluster — Node, Namespace, Event
• Custom Resources — any CRDs installed on the cluster (ArgoCD Application, Prometheus Rule, SealedSecret, VPA, etc.)

Each entry shows a count of resources of that kind in the current namespace filter. Empty kinds can be hidden with Show empty.

​

Search and filter

The search box at the top of the sidebar filters the resource list by name. Inside a resource kind, the main panel has its own search for cross-field matching (labels, annotations, owner references).

​

Detail drawer

Click any resource to open a detail drawer with:

• Summary — human-readable overview of the resource’s state
• YAML — raw Kubernetes resource spec with syntax highlighting
• Quick Commands — copy-paste kubectl commands for common operations
• Cloud console links — jump straight to the cloud provider console for cloud-managed resources (GKE nodes, EKS pods, etc.)
• Actions — scale, restart, or delete workloads directly from the drawer

​

Workload-specific views

Skyhook has purpose-built renderers for common workload kinds:

• Deployment — rollout status, replica health, associated ReplicaSets
• Pod — container states, restart count, recent logs, events
• ReplicaSet — replica status, owner reference, revision, pod template
• Ingress — hosts, TLS configuration, backend services, unified status across rules
• Service — endpoints, ports, ClusterIP/LoadBalancer details
• Argo Rollouts — canary/blue-green progress, traffic split, analysis templates

These renderers show only the fields you actually care about, so you’re not scanning through hundreds of lines of YAML for a simple question.

​

Cluster Topology

Navigate to Clusters → <cluster> → Topology to open a visual map of the cluster’s workloads.

​

What you see

• Nodes in the graph represent Kubernetes resources — Deployments, ReplicaSets, Pods, Services, Ingresses, ConfigMaps
• Edges represent ownership (ReplicaSet belongs to Deployment) or traffic routing (Ingress → Service → Pods)
• Grouping — toggle between No Grouping, By Namespace, and By App Label
• Filters — the left sidebar lets you show or hide resources by kind (Ingresses, Services, Deployments, ReplicaSets, Pods, Namespaces, and any custom resources)

​

Use cases

• Sanity-check a deployment — at a glance, does the Deployment have the right number of replicas? Are the Pods healthy? Does the Service match?
• Find ownership chains — “which Deployment owns this Pod, and which Service routes to it?”
• Cross-namespace traffic — see which Ingresses route to Services in other namespaces
• Debug missing wiring — a Deployment that exists but has no Service pointing at it stands out visually

​

Traffic view

Toggle from Resources to Traffic to see the network flow between workloads, based on real-time service mesh or NetworkPolicy data.

​

Service Runtime tab

Every service page has a Runtime tab that shows everything running for that service in a selected environment — the same kind of view as Cluster Topology but scoped to one service.

​

Environment picker

A chip row at the top lets you switch between the service’s environments (autopush, dev, staging, prod). Switching re-queries the target cluster for live state.

​

Resource Topology graph

Shows the service’s live Kubernetes resources and how they connect — Deployment → ReplicaSet → Pods, Service, Ingress, ConfigMap. Click any node to see details. Skyhook highlights ReplicaSet groups separately from the active ReplicaSet so you can see your rollout history at a glance without it cluttering the main graph. Old ReplicaSets from previous rollouts are collapsed into a ReplicaSetGroup node.

​

Network Connectivity Monitoring

A dedicated card verifies your public endpoints are correctly configured and accessible, checking:

• DNS — the ingress hostname resolves
• TLS — the certificate is valid and trusted
• HTTP — the endpoint responds (with status code)
• Backends — the pods behind the ingress are reachable

Failing checks are surfaced inline so you catch broken routes immediately. This is the same connectivity check that appears on the deployment detail page — see Deploying Services.

​

Kubernetes Resources list

Below the topology, a categorized list shows every Kubernetes resource that belongs to this service in the selected environment:

• Ingresses — hosts and TLS state
• Services — ClusterIP / LoadBalancer and port mappings
• Deployments — ready state and rollout status
• ReplicaSets — current and historical (for rollback reference)
• Pods — running state per pod
• ConfigMaps — key count and content

Each resource has the same inspection affordances as the Cluster Resources browser — click to open a drawer with YAML, quick commands, and actions.
