# Cluster Dashboard

The **Cluster Dashboard** provides a number of views, ranging from an overview of all connected Kubernetes clusters to detailed views outlining metrics for individual clusters as well as the Kubernetes artefacts belonging to those clusters.

Below are some of the views provided:

### Kubernetes Custer Overview

The **Kubernetes Cluster Overview** provides overall cluster metrics for all connected clusters across cloud providers and on-premise. 

The metrics provided include **Cluster Score, Next 30 Days Forecast** and **Total Cost.** These metrics are provided for the time frame chosen using the date picker in the top right.

**Cluster Score** is a measure of cluster utilization. The following utilization tiers are applied when calculating the cluster score:

**0-30 = low** 

**31-60 = medium** 

**61-100 = high**

**Next 30 Days Forecast** is based on the costs for the previous 7 days. The forecast is displayed only when the date range chosen includes the previous 7 days. Date range can be chosen using the date picker in the top right.

**Total Cost** represents the total costs of that cluster for the date range chosen.

The **Cluster Overview** also outlines the number of nodes currently running in that cluster, the total number of unique nodes that belonged to that cluster in the timeframe chosen as well as when the metrics were last updated.

In the screenshot above 3 nodes are currently running in the **replex** cluster while 9 unique nodes have belonged to the cluster during the timeframe chosen.

### Detailed Cluster View

The **Detailed Cluster View** can be accessed by clicking on one of the listed clusters in the [**Cluster Overview**](https://docs.replex.io/getting-started/cluster-dashboard#kubernetes-custer-overview).

The **Detailed Cluster View** outlines **Total Monthly Cost**, **Idle Cost**, **Savings** and **Efficiency** metrics for individual Kubernetes clusters. 

**Efficiency** metrics are provided for all three cluster resources including **CPU**, **RAM** and **Disk** and are color coded to provide an indication of **Used Resources** and **Idle Resources**.  

The **Detailed Cluster View** also provides a cost progression chart of **Total Monthly Cluster Costs** for the previous 6 months.

![Detailed Cluster View](/files/-MRzmYw8UY9jg2aQaT6r)

The **Widgets** at the bottom of the view provide cost allocation metrics for all **Namespaces** and **Deployments** in that cluster for the last 24 hours.

The **Namespaces Widget** outlines costs for all Namespaces in the cluster as a percentage of total cluster total.

Similarly, the **Deployments Widget** outlines costs for all Deployments in the cluster as a percentage of total cluster cluster costs. 

![Cost Allocation Widgets](/files/-MS83k2pQo4z-aq-iymL)

### Namespaces Overview

The **Namespaces Overview** outlines cost metrics for all Namespaces belonging to that cluster. It can be accessed by clicking on the Namespaces Widget in the [**Detailed Cluster View**](https://docs.replex.io/getting-started/cluster-dashboard#detailed-cluster-view).

Cost metrics are provided as two charts: **Allocated Cost Combined** and **Allocated Cost Detailed**.

**Allocated Cost Combined** represents the progression of total costs for all **Namespaces** in the cluster across the entire duration chosen.

The **Allocated Cost Detailed** chart dynamically groups total costs for all **Namespaces** on a weekly, daily or hourly basis, based on the duration chosen. 

The individual bars representing total namespace costs are broken down into **RAM**, **CPU,** **PVC** and **Node Disk Costs**, for a more informative and easy-to-understand cost analysis. 

![Total Namespace Costs](/files/-MdMmIJk4NLKrTv9uznR)

The **Cost Details** section of the **Namespaces Overview** provides detailed cost metrics for individual **Namespaces** in the cluster.

The metrics provided include the **Utilized Cost** for all three resources (CPU, RAM and Storage) in that particular namespace, the **Idle Cost** of that **Namespace** (both as an absolute $ number and a percentage), [**External Cost**](/settings/integrate-out-of-cluster-costs-cloud-costs.md) and the **Total Cost.**

These metrics are outlined in the **Summaries** tab of the **Cost Details** section. 

![Cost Details Section - Summaries Tab](/files/-MdMnMqBTlya09533Zav)

The **Cost Development** tab of the **Cost Details** section charts cost progression for each namespace individually across the duration chosen.

Namespace charts can be sorted **Alphabetically**, **Total Cost, Idle Cost** or by **Variance.**

![Cost Details Section - Cost Development Tab ](/files/-MdMo3Anvd9_EgjGs6yn)

Sorting by **Total Cost** will organize namespace charts, showing the namespace with the highest cost first.

![Sorting Namespaces by Total Cost](/files/-MdMoouV0uwaFC-ZbnNT)

Sorting by **Idle Cost** will organize namespace charts, showing the namespace with the highest change in cost first. 

![Sorting Namespaces by Idle Cost](/files/-MdMpONTCo5a9-pN7EJJ)

Sorting by **Variance** will organize namespace charts, showing the namespace with the highest change in cost first.
