A fast and simple dashboard for Kubernetes


Usage: Press `?` while running the app to see keybindings

Options:
  -t, --tick-rate <TICK_RATE>
          Set the tick rate (milliseconds): the lower the number the higher the FPS [default: 250]
  -p, --poll-rate <POLL_RATE>
          Set the network call polling rate (milliseconds, should be multiples of tick-rate): the lower the number the higher the network calls [default: 5000]
  -e, --enhanced-graphics
          whether unicode symbols are used to improve the overall look of the app
  -d, --debug[=<debug>]
          Enables debug mode and writes logs to 'kdash-debug-<timestamp>.log' file in the current directory. Default behavior is to write INFO logs. Pass a log level to overwrite the default [possible values: info, debug, trace, warn, error]
      --log-tail-lines <LOG_TAIL_LINES>
          Set how many historical log lines to fetch before live streaming starts
  -n, --namespace <NAMESPACE>
          Pre-select a namespace on startup (same as pressing `n` and picking the namespace)
  -c, --context <CONTEXT>
          Pre-select a kubeconfig context on startup (same as picking it from the Contexts view)
  -h, --help
          Print help
  -V, --version
          Print version
