  • octant

    Discontinued Highly extensible platform for developers to better understand the complexity of Kubernetes clusters.

  • Like the Kubernetes Dashboard, Octant is an open-source web interface for visualizing your clusters and applications. The solution supports multiple plugins via a core gRPC API, making Octant extensible and richly featured. Like other tools, it provides real-time updates on the health and performance of your cluster’s objects plus related objects. This detailed metrics tracking is meant to simplify the debugging process and highlight problems before they become threatening. Building off of kubectl and kustomize, Octant is a simple and reliable tool for managing the Kubernetes system as a whole.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
