Browsing resources¶

Pick a kind from the nav drawer and Kubus shows you a live list of every resource of that kind, across all your selected clusters. Lists stay in sync over a WebSocket watch — there's no refresh button because there's nothing to refresh.

The Pods list — Live, sortable, filterable — with the right columns for each kind.

Live updates¶

Every list is backed by an informer-style watch. New objects appear, status changes ripple through, and deletions drop out — instantly, with no flicker. If a watch is interrupted (the classic Kubernetes 410 Gone), Kubus transparently reconnects and resyncs, so you can leave a list open all day and trust what it shows.

Columns that fit the kind¶

Each built-in kind has hand-picked columns. Pods show readiness, status, restarts, CPU, memory, node and age; Deployments show ready/up-to-date/available; Services show type and ports — and so on. When several clusters are selected, a Cluster column is added automatically.

Sort by clicking a column header.
Filter with the search box — plain text, or start with / for smart filters: structured clauses like /status:crash ns:prod restarts>3, with autocomplete.
Labels get their own column — each row shows its first labels as chips with a +N overflow; hover to see them all, click a chip to filter by that label.
Secret values are redacted by default — Kubus never shows secret data in a list. Reveal them deliberately in the details drawer.

Custom resources, first-class¶

CRDs aren't an afterthought. Kubus discovers every CustomResourceDefinition in your selected clusters and lists them under Custom Resources, grouped by API group. Even better, it renders each CRD's own additionalPrinterColumns — the same extra columns you get from kubectl get — as real, sortable columns.

A custom resource list with printer columns — Your operators' CRDs, with their printer columns rendered as columns.

Pick the right version automatically

When a CRD serves multiple versions, Kubus prefers the most stable, newest one (v1 over v1beta1 over v1alpha1) so you land on the version you almost certainly want.

Filtering by namespace¶

The namespace filter in the top bar narrows every list. Leave it empty for all namespaces; it applies across all selected clusters at once.

Saved views¶

Got a list you keep coming back to — failing pods in prod, all Ingresses in team-a? Save it. The current kind plus its namespace and cluster filters become a saved view that appears in the nav drawer right under its kind, one click away. Delete a saved view from the same spot when you're done with it.

Acting on a row¶

Every row has a ⋮ menu with the actions that make sense for that kind — logs, shell, scale, restart, port-forward, delete, and more. That's covered in Quick actions. To inspect instead, just click the resource's name to open the details drawer.
