Settings¶

Open settings from the gear in the top bar. Everything here is stored in your browser/app profile — there's no server-side config file to manage.

Kubeconfig¶

Shows which kubeconfig file(s) Kubus is reading and where that choice came from (--kubeconfig flag, $KUBECONFIG, a saved override, or the default). Point Kubus at a different file with Override path.

Clusters¶

The home for managing the clusters in your kubeconfig:

Add cluster — paste or fill in a new cluster.
Edit () — change a cluster's API server, credentials, TLS, and proxy settings. See Adding, editing & removing clusters and Reaching clusters behind a proxy or bastion.
Protect () — mark a cluster as protected, or set protect by default so every cluster is guarded until you say otherwise. See Production guard.

Data & refresh¶

Kubus keeps lists live over a WebSocket watch no matter what. This setting controls the polling cadence for things that aren't watched — metrics, events, Helm, the overview:

Setting	Effect
Fast	Poll roughly twice as often
Normal	The default cadence
Slow	Poll about half as often
Off	Stop polling — useful on slow links or to save API calls
