Show %CPU/R, %CPU/L, %MEM/R, %MEM/L for list of pods

[jhalterman]

Memory and CPU usage in Sofka are nice, but it's the % relative to the reserve and limit that I really need to know, across an entire list of pods, without having to look at each pod individually.

[polo871209]

you can do sth like this in the config directly

[views."v1/pods"]
columns = [
  { name = "%CPU/R", metric = "cpu-request-utilization" },
  { name = "%MEM/R", metric = "memory-request-utilization" },
]

but cant update the order of the field, maybe if having feature to configure the precednce of the field would help

and I would prefer to have smaller set of default field, as long as it can be customize

Thanks for the idea @jhalterman, and thanks @polo871209 for jumping in!

Good news: this should already be possible with view config. The pods view has utilization metrics for both requests and limits, and with replace = true you can also choose the column order:

[views."v1/pods"]
replace = true
columns = [
  { name = "NAME", builtin = "NAME" },
  { name = "READY", builtin = "READY" },
  { name = "STATUS", builtin = "STATUS" },
  { name = "RESTARTS", builtin = "RESTARTS" },
  { name = "CPU", metric = "cpu" },
  { name = "%CPU/R", metric = "cpu-request-utilization" },
  { name = "%CPU/L", metric = "cpu-limit-utilization" },
  { name = "MEM", metric = "memory" },
  { name = "%MEM/R", metric = "memory-request-utilization" },
  { name = "%MEM/L", metric = "memory-limit-utilization" },
  { name = "AGE", builtin = "AGE" },
]

@polo871209 on ordering: with replace = true, the columns render in exactly the order you declare them. Without it, new columns are added before AGE. You can also add wide = true to any column so it only shows in wide mode (w).

The columns are sortable and filterable too, e.g. %cpu/l>=90 or %mem/r>=75.

Could you give it a try and let me know if it covers what you need? If something's missing or feels awkward, happy to keep improving it.

[nklmilojevic]

Closing this one since the view config above covers all four columns, with your own order via replace = true.

If something's still missing or awkward once you try it, reopen and let me know :)

@nklmilojevic This works great. Thanks for the suggestion.
