The tree viewer offers an intuitive and efficient way to navigate and explore your cloud environments.

Use the tree viewer to select the scope of systems on which to report. As you navigate through the tree, the reports on the right update automatically to show your selected scope. If you are using Kubex for container optimization, then see the following:

Use the node tree viewer to navigate node groups supporting your container environments.

Hiding the Tree Viewer

Once you have selected the scope of systems to review you can hide the tree viewer. If you are working on a smaller screen or laptop it will be easier to view tables and charts with the increased screen space.

By default, the tree view is pinned to the left side of the screen.

When the viewer is pinned, click the chevrons to open/close the tree viewer.

Views and Filters

The default view is your container hierarchy i.e. Cloud Provider > Cluster> Region> Service > Instance. This view can be customized to better manage your data. See Creating Custom Views. You can also create customized filters to manage large sets of data. See Creating Custom Filters. The following icons are available, by default. You can create custom views based on other attributes that may not include any of the following items.
