Getting Started

Mission Control provides comprehensive monitoring and management capabilities for your Kubernetes clusters. It automatically discovers and tracks:

All standard Kubernetes resources (Pods, Deployments, Services, etc.)
Custom Resources (CRDs)
Resource health status via is-healthy
Configuration changes
Resource relationships and dependencies

This enables you to:

Get real-time visibility into your cluster's state
Troubleshoot issues faster with relationship mapping
Track configuration drift and changes over time
Monitor resource utilization and capacity
Ensure compliance with security policies
Manage multiple clusters from a single interface

Prerequisites

To enable the Kubernetes integration you need:

Mission Control installed
kubectl access to the Mission Control instance

Install the mission-control-kubernetes chart

Flux

helm repo add flanksource https://flanksource.github.io/charts
