Events

Browse cluster events with filters by namespace, type, reason, and involved object.

The Events browser is a dedicated page for triaging Kubernetes events without scoping to a specific resource first.

What's on the page

The events list shows every event the API server is currently exposing for the connected cluster, sorted by last-seen time. Each row includes:

ColumnDescription
Last seenRelative time since the most recent occurrence
TypeNormal or Warning
ReasonThe short reason code, e.g. FailedScheduling, BackOff, Pulled
ObjectThe involved object (kind/name) — click through to its detail page
SourceComponent or node that emitted the event
CountNumber of times this event has fired
MessageHuman-readable explanation

Filters

Use the filter bar at the top to narrow the list:

  • Namespace — scope to a single namespace or view across the whole cluster.
  • Type — show only Warning events when triaging, or Normal to confirm a successful action.
  • Reason — pick from a dynamic list of reasons present in the current data.
  • Object — search by kind or name to focus on one workload.

Filter state is local to the page; switching pages or clusters resets it.

Live updates

Events stream in as the API server emits them. New rows appear at the top and existing rows update their Count and Last seen in place, so you can leave the page open while reproducing an issue.

Detail panel

Click a row to open the detail panel with the full event payload — useful when you need the source Pod UID, the controller subobject path, or the raw firstTimestamp/lastTimestamp values.

Tips

  • Filter to Warning and the affected namespace right after a deployment to catch scheduler, image pull, or volume mount failures fast.
  • The cluster overview page also surfaces the most recent events; use this page when you need historical search across the whole cluster.
  • The API server evicts events on its own schedule. If you do not see the event you expected, the cluster has already discarded it.
