Kubo — Kubernetes and everything around it, from your phone on Kubo

Browsing buckets

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Folders via common prefixes, a breadcrumb bar that goes up a level, sort and filter, and an image grid where a folder has pictures.

Building a command

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

The next word offered as cards with descriptions, live values pulled from the cluster, and a free-text box that both filters and commits.

Log search

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Free text or a SQL predicate, chosen columns in three layouts, server-side sorting, filter history — and a tail that is its own cursor.

Metrics

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Real historical time series per process, disk and database — plus an ad-hoc picker for anything else in the catalogue.

Pods

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

A live pod list with phase facets and metrics-server usage, and a detail page with charts, conditions and the pod’s own events.

Queues

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Depths and rates per queue with a vhost filter and search, a detail page with bindings, and purge or delete behind a confirm.

Routers, services & middlewares

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

The routing table, filtered by protocol, status and entry point — with backend server health under each service.

Searching an index

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

A query_string (Lucene/KQL) search that runs on submit, pages by infinite scroll, and is bounded by a relative time range.

The activity heat map

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Collections × operations, incremented live by the change stream, with colour tracking recency rather than totals.

The application list

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Every app with its sync state and health, live over the watch stream, with search and four filters.

The overview

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

A health hero, a ranked issues list where every row jumps to the thing that is wrong, and cluster capacity gauges.

The query explorer

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Instant or range PromQL, charted without a charting library — and a metric browser so you tap a query rather than type it.

Alerts & rules

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

What is firing right now, and the recording and alerting rules behind it.

Collections & indexes

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Per-collection ops, latency and size, and index usage read from $indexStats — so an unused index is genuinely unused.

Exchanges & connections

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Exchanges with their bindings, and client connections you can force-close when one goes rogue.

Fields, layouts & sorting

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

A field explorer over the mapping, three ways to render the hits, and server-side sorting where the mapping allows it.

Metrics

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

PromQL against OpenObserve’s Prometheus-compatible endpoints, with the same metric and label browser.

Objects: preview, download, share

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Metadata from a HEAD, inline previews for images, JSON and text, a real download, and presigned links with an expiry you choose.

Performance Advisor & collections

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Suggested indexes, parsed slow queries and enriched hot namespaces — each deep-linking to a page about one collection.

Refresh, sync, restart, rollback

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

The four operations worth having on a phone, from the list row menu or the detail page — including a history picker for rollbacks.

Running it

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Translation into REST calls, kubectl-style output, a live request preview, and a Raw view built for bug reports.

Traffic

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Request rate, error percentage, latency and open connections — differenced from two scrapes of Traefik’s Prometheus endpoint.

Workloads, Jobs & CronJobs

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Scale and restart Deployments and DaemonSets, suspend and resume Jobs, trigger a CronJob run — with merged logs and read-only YAML.

Workloads, Nodes, Jobs & Storage

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

The four list sections behind the overview, each filtered by namespace, searchable and sorted worst-first.

Application detail & logs

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

The managed resource tree grouped by type, the app’s Kubernetes events, and streaming pod logs that bookmark the workload rather than the pod.

Clusters, alerts & events

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Cluster configuration, backup snapshots and search indexes — plus the project’s alert list and activity feed.

History charts

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Real broker-side history, drawn from sample arrays the Management API only returns if you ask for them properly.

Live tail

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Polling newest-first by the index’s timestamp, with auto-pause when you scroll away and search_after paging into older documents.

Scrape targets

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Up/down health, last scrape and the error text — sorted down-first, because that is the list you came for.

Searching keys

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

A recursive scan under the bucket or the open folder — capped, and honest when the cap is what stopped it.

Services

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Every address a Service answers on, one tap from the clipboard — with the cluster’s DNS zones discovered rather than assumed.

Setting one up

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

No endpoint, no credentials — a console names a cluster you have already added, and bookmarks its command.

The live feed

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

The raw change-event stream, and what happens when a deployment cannot provide one.

Traces

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

A per-trace roll-up you can actually read, and a waterfall re-treed client-side so damaged traces still render.

Two ways to reach it

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

A direct /metrics URL, or a scrape through an existing cluster’s API-server proxy — plus how polling and in-app history work.

Events

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

The aggregate events feed, live, with a Warning/Normal facet and a deep link straight to the resource each event is about.

Streams

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

The inventory of everything ingested — and a shortcut into the section that can query it.

Live logs & pod terminal

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Stream logs from a pod or a whole workload, filter them as they arrive — and get a real interactive shell inside a container.

Connections, bookmarks & history

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

One reorderable list of everything you connect to and every view you saved — grouped, renamed and colour-coded the way you work.

Access, auth & credentials

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Reach private clusters over Tailscale, sign in to EKS with IAM and no exec plugin, and reuse one secret across connections from a central credentials manager.

Download

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Kubo runs on your phone, your tablet and your desktop — one app, the same connections list everywhere.

Privacy

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Kubo has no backend and no account. Your data stays between your device and the systems you point it at.

Screenshots

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Every screen in the app, captured from the built-in sample connections. Tap any image to open it full size.

Security & privacy

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Kubo is a client, not a service. It talks to your systems directly, keeps credentials in your device’s keystore, and has no backend of its own.
