The Cluster Information page consolidates everything you need to monitor, audit, and manage an ACK cluster in one place: health status, security scan results, network and configuration details, connection credentials, monitoring metrics, cost data, logs, and task history.
View cluster information
Log on to the ACK console. In the left-side navigation pane, click Clusters.
On the Clusters page, find the cluster and click its name. In the left-side pane, click Cluster Information.
Click a tab to view the corresponding information.
Cluster information tabs
| Tab | What you can see |
|---|---|
| Overview | Cluster health status, active risks, resource usage, and recent events and alerts. |
| Security Overview | Security scan results for the cluster, including node vulnerabilities, container image risks, and container runtime risks. Available for ACK managed Pro clusters only. |
| Basic Information | Cluster ID, region, time zone, Kubernetes version, deletion protection status, network configuration, audit log status, associated cloud resources, and resource group and labels. |
| Connection Information | The kubeconfig file for connecting a kubectl client to the cluster over the internet or internal network. |
| Cluster Monitoring | CPU, memory, and network resource utilization charts, with the option to create alert rules. |
| Costs | Cost and resource usage breakdown by cluster, department, or application for a specified financial governance cycle. Requires the cost insights feature to be enabled. |
| Cluster Logs | Cluster log entries. |
| Cluster Tasks | Task status, associated resources, and start and end times for each cluster task. Failed tasks include error details to help with troubleshooting. |
| O&M Tasks | Auto O&M schedules for managed node pools, including automatic responses to ECS system events, automatic kubelet updates, and automatic Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) patching. |
Overview
The Overview tab gives you a real-time snapshot of cluster health, so you can spot issues and jump directly to the affected resource.
Cluster Health Status: Shows the health of the control plane, components, node pools, and workloads. Click a card showing an abnormal resource to go to the corresponding page. Pair this with Managed Service for Prometheus to configure alerts.
Cluster Risks: After you enable the cluster inspection feature, the system automatically scans the cluster and surfaces potential risks with suggested fixes—helping you prevent service disruptions before they occur. Configure the inspection interval and cycle using the .
Monitoring: Shows total and in-use CPU and memory across the cluster. Use this data for capacity planning and identifying resource pressure before it impacts workloads.
Events and Alerts: Shows cluster alerts, error events, and other events. Integrate with Event monitoring and Container Service alert management to centralize alert management.
Security Overview
This tab is available for ACK managed Pro clusters only. To enable it, submit a ticket to apply to be added to the whitelist.
After a security inspection runs, the results appear here, covering node vulnerabilities, container image risks, and container runtime risks. Each inspection generates a report that describes every item checked and provides remediation suggestions. Configure periodic inspections to automatically log results to a specified Simple Log Service (SLS) project. For details, see Use the inspection feature to detect security risks in the workloads of an ACK cluster.
Basic Information
The Basic Information tab is organized into five sections:
Basic Information: Cluster ID, region, time zone, Kubernetes version, and deletion protection status.
Network: Container network plugin, virtual switch, API server endpoints, and Service CIDR block.
Security and Auditing: Status of cluster audit logs.
Cluster Resources: Cloud resources managed by the cluster, such as Resource Orchestration Service (ROS) stacks and SLS projects. Click a resource ID to open it in the corresponding console.
ImportantThese resources are managed by ACK. Do not delete or modify them, as doing so may cause your cluster and its applications to stop functioning.
Tag Group: Resource group and labels for the cluster.
Connection Information
Download the kubeconfig file to connect a kubectl client to the cluster over the internet or the internal network. For details, see Connect to a cluster.
Cluster Monitoring
ACK integrates with Managed Service for Prometheus to provide cluster-level resource monitoring. Use this tab to review CPU, memory, and network utilization trends—useful for capacity planning, identifying unhealthy nodes, and spotting resource pressure before it affects workloads—and to set up alert rules. For details, see Enable Managed Service for Prometheus.
Costs
After enabling the cost insights feature, this tab breaks down cost and resource usage for a specified cluster, department, or application within a chosen financial governance cycle—supporting cost estimation, allocation, and accounting across different scenarios. For details, see Cost insights.
O&M Tasks
This tab applies to managed node pools only. See Create and manage a node pool to enable and use automated O&M.
Query the auto O&M schedules configured for the cluster, including:
Automatic responses to ECS system events
Automatic kubelet updates for node pools
Automatic CVE patching
For an overview of all auto O&M capabilities, see Overview of managed node pools.
