Features Overview

Kube Ingress Dash provides a comprehensive set of features for monitoring and managing Kubernetes ingress resources.

Core Features​

Real-time Ingress Monitoring​

Watch ingress resources update in real-time using Server-Sent Events (SSE). Changes to ingresses are automatically reflected in the dashboard without requiring page refreshes.

Multi-Namespace Support​

Monitor ingresses across multiple namespaces simultaneously. The dashboard provides a namespace filter that allows you to:

  • View all namespaces at once
  • Filter to specific namespaces
  • Quickly switch between namespace views

Advanced Search and Filtering​

Quickly find ingresses using the powerful search functionality:

  • Search by ingress name
  • Search by namespace
  • Search by host
  • Search by path
  • Real-time filtering as you type
  • URL-based search persistence (shareable search links)

Flexible Grouping System​

Organize ingresses in different ways to match your workflow:

  • None: View all ingresses in a single grid (default)
  • By Namespace: Organize ingresses into separate sections per namespace
  • By TLS Status: Group ingresses by TLS enabled/disabled status

Grouping mode is persisted in the URL for easy bookmarking and sharing.

Detailed Ingress Information​

Click the details icon on any ingress card to view comprehensive information:

  • Main Details: Name, namespace, creation timestamp, status, and ingress class
  • Labels: All Kubernetes labels with copy functionality
  • Annotations: All annotations with copy functionality and special formatting
  • Configuration: Hosts, paths, backend services, and load balancer status
  • YAML Manifest: Syntax-highlighted YAML with copy-to-clipboard functionality

URL-Based Navigation​

Share direct links to specific ingress details:

  • Modal state is reflected in the URL
  • Navigate directly to ingress details via URL
  • Bookmark specific ingresses for quick access
  • Share links with team members

Settings and Customization​

Configure which labels, namespaces, and annotations appear in filters:

  • Access settings via the Settings link in the header
  • Exclude specific labels from filter dropdowns
  • Exclude specific namespaces from filter dropdowns
