Review pod status in the Kubernetes navigator

 

You are a Kubernetes administrator for a large organization. You need to continuously monitor few different stats relating to your Kubernetes pods - the number of running pods versus the number you are expecting to be running, and pods in a pending status as well as pods that are failed. You need to be able to access these pod statuses in a single place so you can quickly and easily troubleshoot, reducing your mean-time-to-resolution (MTTR).
