    Container Service for Kubernetes:View cluster information

    Last Updated:Jun 17, 2025

    You can view information about Container Service for Kubernetes (ACK) clusters on the cluster information page, including basic cluster information, cluster inspection information, relevant cloud resources, and cluster resource monitoring data.

    Procedure

    1. Log on to the ACK console. In the left-side navigation pane, click Clusters.

    2. On the Clusters page, find the cluster that you want to manage and click its name. In the left-side pane, click Cluster Information.

    3. Click a tab to view the corresponding information.

      For more information, see Cluster information.

    Description

    Overview

    You can view the cluster resource overview and health status.

    • Cluster Health Status: This section displays the health status of the control plane, components, node pools, and workloads. You can click a card that indicates an abnormal resource to go to the corresponding page.

      This feature can be used with the Managed Service for Prometheus feature to configure alerts.

    • Cluster Risks: After you enable the cluster inspection feature, the system automatically scans the cluster and displays potential risks and corresponding solutions to prevent service disruptions.

      This feature can be used with the inspection feature to configure the inspection interval and cycle.

    • Monitoring: This section displays the usage and total amount of CPU and memory in the cluster.

    • Events and Alerts: This section displays cluster alerts, error events, and other events.

      This feature can be used with the Event monitoring and Container Service alert management features.

    Security Overview

    Only ACK managed Pro clusters support this feature. To use this feature, submit a ticket to apply to be added to the whitelist.

    After a security inspection is performed on the cluster, the inspection results are displayed, including node vulnerabilities, container image risks, and container runtime risks. This helps you learn the potential risks in application configurations.

    An inspection report is generated after a security inspection is performed. The report includes the description of each inspection item and suggestions on how to fix the related security issues. You can also configure periodic inspections. The results of each periodic inspection are logged to the specified Simple Log Service(SLS) project. For more information, see Use the inspection feature to detect security risks in the workloads of an ACK cluster.

    Basic Information

    • Basic Information: This section displays basic information about the cluster, such as cluster ID, region, time zone of the cluster, Kubernetes version, and the status of deletion protection.

    • Network: This section displays network information, such as container network plugin, virtual switch, endpoints of the API server, and Service CIDR block.

    • Security and Auditing: This section displays security and auditing information, such as the status of cluster audit logs.

    • Cluster Resources: This section displays resources used by the cluster, such as Resource Orchestration Service (ROS) stack and SLS projects. To check a resource in the corresponding console, click the resource ID.

      Important

      The resources are managed by ACK. Do not delete or modify the resources in case your cluster and the applications in the cluster cannot function as normal.

    • Tag Group: This section displays the resource group and labels of the cluster.

    Connection Information

    You can obtain the kubeconfig file that can be used to connect a kubectl client to the cluster over the Internet or internal network. For more information, see Connect to a cluster.

    Cluster Monitoring

    ACK is integrated with Managed Service for Prometheus to allow you to monitor resources in your cluster. You can view the utilization of CPU, memory, and network resources and create alert rules. For more information, see Enable Managed Service for Prometheus.

    Costs

    After you enable the cost insights feature, you can gain insights into the cost and resource usage of a specified cluster, department, or application within a specified financial governance cycle. This meets the requirements for cost estimation, allocation, and accounting in various scenarios. For more information, see Cost insights.

    Cluster Logs

    You can view cluster logs.

    Cluster Tasks

    You can view information about cluster tasks, including the task status, associated resources, and start time and end time of each task. Error information is displayed for failed tasks to help you troubleshoot issues.

    O&M Tasks

    Applicable to managed node pools only. Refer to Create and manage a node pool to enable and use the automated O&M capability.

    You can query the auto O&M schedules of a cluster, such as automatic response to ECS system events, automatic kubelet updates for node pools, and automatic Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) patching. For more information about the auto O&M capabilities provided by ACK, see Overview of managed node pools.
