To view the dashboard, go to the NodePools and Cluster Autoscaler dashboard.
For instructions about accessing CoreWeave Grafana dashboards, see Access and use CoreWeave Grafana dashboards.
The NodePools and Cluster Autoscaler dashboard gives you a single place to inspect the state of your CKS Node Pools and the Kubernetes Cluster Autoscaler that scales them. Use it to review Node Pool capacity and conditions, read Node Pool events, and track autoscaler scaling activity, errors, and logs without querying metrics or logs directly. For background on how autoscaling works and how to configure it, see Autoscale Node Pools.

Node Pools overview

The NodePools Overview table provides a global view of all your Node Pools. It renders the spec fields, status fields, and conditions for each Node Pool in one place. For details about what each column represents, see the Node Pool reference documentation.
ColumnDescription
NodePoolThe name of the Node Pool.
Org IDThe organization that owns the Node Pool.
ClusterThe cluster the Node Pool belongs to.
ZoneThe availability zone where the Node Pool runs.
Instance TypeThe instance type provisioned by the Node Pool.
Compute ClassThe compute class assigned to the Node Pool.
Target NodesThe number of Nodes the Node Pool is requesting.
Current NodesThe number of Nodes present in the cluster for the Node Pool.
Progressing NodesThe number of Nodes that have been assigned but have not yet fully booted into the cluster.
Queued NodesThe number of queued Nodes waiting to be assigned.
Prefill NodesThe number of Nodes in the Node Pool prefill flow.
AutoscalingWhether autoscaling is enabled on the Node Pool.
ValidatedThe Validated condition, which reports whether the Node Pool spec passed validation.
AtTargetThe AtTarget condition, which reports whether the Node Pool has reached its target Node count.
CapacityThe Capacity condition, which reports whether the zone has capacity to provision the requested Nodes.
QuotaThe Quota condition, which reports whether the request is within the organization’s quota.
ReconfigRequiredThe NodeReconfigurationRequired condition, which reports whether Nodes need to be reconfigured to match the spec.

Node Pool events

The NodePool Events table renders the events recorded for your Node Pools, such as scaling decisions and quota warnings. Filter the table by event type (Normal or Warning) and event reason to focus on specific activity. Because events come from exported logs, set the Log Source variable to a source that matches the Region and Zone you have selected. Otherwise, the table cannot render events.

Cluster autoscaler

The Cluster Autoscaler section reports the activity and health of the Cluster Autoscaler. To drill into a single cluster, set the Org ID and Cluster variables at the top of the dashboard.

Cluster autoscaler metrics

These panels summarize how the autoscaler is scaling your cluster and how its main loop is performing. The metrics panels use the Data Source, Region, Zone, Org ID, and Cluster variables.
PanelDescription
Safe to AutoscaleWhether the cluster is healthy enough for autoscaling.
Autoscaled NodePools CountThe number of Node Pools managed by the Cluster Autoscaler.
Autoscale Max Nodes CountThe maximum number of Nodes aggregated across all autoscaled Node Pools.
Autoscaled Nodes CountThe number of Nodes in the cluster managed by the autoscaler.
Cluster Autoscaler Duration p95 By FunctionThe time taken by various parts of the autoscaler main loop.
ErrorsThe number of autoscaler loops that failed due to an error.
Failed Scale UpsThe number of times a scale-up operation has failed.
Unneeded NodesThe number of Nodes currently considered unneeded by the autoscaler.
Scaled Down NodesThe number of Nodes removed by the autoscaler.
Unschedulable Pods CountThe number of unschedulable (Pending) Pods in the cluster.
Scaled Up NodesThe number of Nodes added by the autoscaler.

Cluster autoscaler logs

The Logs panel shows exported logs from the Cluster Autoscaler. The logs panel uses the Log Source, Region, Zone, Org ID, and Cluster variables. As with Node Pool events, set the Log Source variable to a source that matches the Region and Zone you have selected so the logs render correctly.

Dashboard variables

The variables at the top of the dashboard filter the panels below them. Not every panel uses every variable.
VariableDescription
Data SourceThe metrics data source for the metric panels.
Log SourceThe log data source for the events and logs panels. Match this to your selected region and zone.
RegionFilter to a specific region.
ZoneFilter to a specific availability zone.
Org IDFilter to a specific organization.
ClusterFilter to a specific cluster.
Instance TypeFilter to Node Pools of a specific instance type.
Compute ClassFilter to Node Pools of a specific compute class.
NodePoolFilter to a specific Node Pool.
Event TypeFilter Node Pool events by type (Normal or Warning).
Event ReasonFilter Node Pool events by reason.
