Using the SKE GUI
The SKE GUI is an easy-to-use UI for viewing and managing Kratix Promises and Resources. It introduces a clear, unified view of your entire platform, giving platform engineers visibility into resources and their states at a glance.
This page explains how to use the SKE GUI. For installation instructions, refer to the installation guide.
You can refer to this video for a walkthrough of how to use the GUI:
The Promise Views
When you access the SKE GUI, you should see the Kratix Sidebar entry on the left. When you click on this entry, you will see a list of all the Kratix Promises.
From here, you can easily jump into the details of any specific Promise and view further information. Within the Promise details, you can access crucial information, including:
- The status conditions of the Promise.
- The last time the associated pipeline ran.
- The ability to jump directly into the pipeline run itself.
- Visibility into the pods that were executed as part of that pipeline.
- Access to Kratix internal objects such as Works and Workplacements.
The Resource Views
Complementing the Promises view, the Resources tab lets you see all Kratix resources deployed across your cluster. With filtering capabilities, you can narrow down your view, for example, by Promise or Namespace.
As with Promises, you can click any resource to view its details. This includes seeing when its pipeline last ran, jumping into the pipeline, inspecting executed pods, and investigating logs for all containers involved in the execution.
Kratix Objects Overview
The Map view visualises all your deployed Promises and Resources. To access the Map view, click on the Map entry in the sidebar.
From there, you can click a Promise to see its associated resources, including Resource Requests and Pipeline Jobs. Clicking Resources renders a similar view.
