The cluster information page in the ACK console gives you a single place to check cluster health, configuration details, connection settings, monitoring data, cost breakdowns, and operational history. Each tab surfaces a different dimension of your cluster.
View cluster information
Log on to the ACK console. In the left navigation pane, click Clusters.
On the Clusters page, click the name of the target cluster. In the left navigation pane, click Cluster Information.
Click a tab to view the corresponding information.
Cluster information tabs
| Tab | What you see |
|---|---|
| Overview | Cluster health status, active risks, resource utilization, and recent events |
| Security Overview | Security inspection results for node vulnerabilities, container image risks, and container runtime risks (ACK managed Pro clusters only) |
| Basic Information | Cluster ID, region, network configuration, audit log status, dependent cloud resources, and resource group |
| Connection Information | kubeconfig files for public and private network access |
| Cluster Monitoring | CPU, memory, and network utilization charts with alert rule management |
| Costs Insights | Cost and resource usage breakdown by cluster, department, or application |
| Cluster Logs | Operational log history |
| Cluster Tasks | History of cluster operations, including status, affected resources, timestamps, and error details for failed operations |
| O&M Plan | Scheduled automated operations, including ECS system event responses, kubelet upgrades, and CVE patches (managed node pools only) |
Overview
The Overview tab shows a summary of your cluster's current state across four sections:
Cluster health status — Displays the health of the control plane, components, node pools, and workloads. Click a card that indicates an abnormal resource to navigate directly to the affected resource. Integrate with Managed Service for Prometheus to configure health-based alerts.
Cluster risks — After you enable the , the system automatically scans the cluster and lists potential risks and corresponding solutions to prevent service disruptions. Configure the inspection interval and cycle from the inspection feature settings.
Monitoring — Shows the current usage and total allocation of CPU and memory across the cluster.
Events and alerts — Lists cluster alerts, error events, and informational events. Integrate with Event monitoring and Container Service alert management for centralized event handling.
Security overview
Only ACK managed Pro clusters support this feature. To get access, submit a ticket to apply to be added to the whitelist.
After a security inspection runs, the Security Overview tab displays the results across three categories: node vulnerabilities, container image risks, and container runtime risks.
Each inspection generates a report with a description of every inspection item and suggested fixes. Configure periodic inspections to run automatically; results from each run are stored in the 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, vSwitch, API server endpoints, and Service CIDR block.
Security and auditing — Status of cluster audit logs.
Cluster resources — Cloud resources that ACK depends on, including the Resource Orchestration Service (ROS) stack 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 — doing so may cause the cluster or its applications to stop working.
Tag group — The resource group and labels assigned to the cluster.
Connection information
The Connection Information tab provides kubeconfig files for both public and private network access. Obtain the kubeconfig file and configure your kubectl client to connect to the cluster. For setup instructions, see Connect to a cluster.
Cluster monitoring
The Cluster Monitoring tab is powered by Managed Service for Prometheus. View the utilization of CPU, memory, and network resources, and create alert rules directly from this tab. For setup instructions, see Enable Managed Service for Prometheus.
Costs insights
Enable the cost insights feature to gain insights into the cost and resource usage within a specified financial governance cycle. Filter by cluster, department, or application to support cost estimation, allocation, and accounting workflows. For details, see Cost insights.
Cluster logs
The Cluster Logs tab displays operational logs for the cluster.
Cluster tasks
The Cluster Tasks tab lists the history of operations performed on the cluster. Each entry shows the operation type, status, affected resources, and timestamp. For failed operations, error details are included to help with troubleshooting and diagnosis.
O&M plan
Applicable to managed node pools only. Enable the automated O&M capability by following the instructions in Create and manage node pools.
The O&M Plan tab shows scheduled automated operation plans, including:
Automatic responses to ECS system events
Kubelet upgrades for node pools
Automatic Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) patching
Click a plan ID to view the details and event history for that task. For a full overview of automated O&M capabilities in ACK, see Automated O&M capabilities.
