Cluster Utilization dashboard

The Container Cluster Management widgets within Bridge Console feature make selected Container Cluster Management insights available within the Kyndryl Bridge Console through reusable widgets.

The Cluster Utilization dashboard provides CPU and memory utilization data that users can filter by environment and time period. Users can also access the corresponding Container Cluster Management Utilization dashboard for additional details.

The reusable widget framework uses existing Container Cluster Management APIs and repository-based configurations, enabling widgets to be centrally maintained, consistently branded and reused across Kyndryl Bridge applications and account dashboards.

Capabilities

The Cluster Utilization widget enables authorized users to:

View CPU and memory utilization data.

Add the widget to the Console using drag-and-drop functionality.

Filter utilization of data by environment. lect a time period of 1 day, 7 days or 30 days.

Access the corresponding CCM Utilization dashboard for additional details.

Prerequisites

The following access requirements determine whether users can view data in the Cluster Utilization widget:

Users must have the appropriate access to the Container Cluster Management Utilization dashboard to view utilization data in the widget.

Users without the required access can still view the widget, but utilization data is not displayed. Instead, an access-related message appears.

Adding Cluster Utilization widgets

Add the Cluster Utilization widget to the Kyndryl Bridge console to view cluster utilization information directly from the landing page.

From the Kyndryl Bridge main menu , go to Bridge Console.

The widget appears on the Bridge Console landing page alongside the other Container Cluster Management widgets.

From the Widgets tab, drag and drop the Cluster Utilization widget onto the Bridge Console.

If you do not have the required role or permissions, the widget might appear without data.

View Cluster Utilization information

The Cluster Utilization dashboard provides a detailed view of CPU and memory utilization across the evaluated clusters. The four summary cards show the number and percentage of clusters identified as over-utilized or under-utilized.

Follow the steps below to review cluster utilization:

Select the environment you want to analyze from the environment drop-down list.

On the Cluster Utilization Insights dashboard, select a time period from the Duration drop-down list:

1 day

7 days

30 days

The corresponding Utilization dashboard opens, where you can review additional utilization details.

Users can review the clusters contributing to a selected utilization category and select a specific cluster to view its associated applications and utilization details.

Utilization summary cards

Utilization summary cards that show the number and percentage of clusters classified as:

Over-Utilized Clusters - CPU: Shows the number and percentage of clusters identified as over-utilized based on CPU usage, along with a visual utilization indicator.

Over-Utilized Clusters - Memory: Shows the number and percentage of clusters identified as over-utilized based on memory usage, along with a visual utilization indicator.

Under-Utilized Clusters - CPU: Shows the number and percentage of clusters identified as under-utilized based on CPU usage, along with a visual utilization indicator.

Under-Utilized Clusters - Memory: Shows the number and percentage of clusters identified as under-utilized based on memory usage, along with a visual utilization indicator.

Use View Details to access additional information about the under-utilized clusters.

The application utilization chart reflects the cluster selected in Top 5 Under-Utilized Clusters-CPU.

For example, when Petstore-EKS-Private is selected, the chart displays the top applications contributing to CPU under-utilization for that cluster.
