Root view

[Ramilito]

The root view started as a hub to reach all the views and get an overview of the cluster.
Right now we have two great ways to reach views, the 1-5 numbers for frequent views and the alias search.

I don't see me using the root view for reaching views anymore, so what should the root view do?

1. Do we want to have it as a overview monitoring view that displays nodes up/down, pods running/pending/failed?
2. Remove it?

Other suggestions?

Would love your views (pun intended 😄) and ideas on this @mosheavni, @idelice

I like 1 better, make something new, fresh.

• header with cluster details (like in any view)
• namespaces with number of pods next to each namespace
  clicking on a namespace will move us to pods view on that specific namespace
• number of ready nodes / number of nodes
• number of deployments maybe?
• some kubectl top node view to see node resource usage
• print number of failing pods (pods not on Running state and containers_status ~= ready_containers .. "/" .. #containers)
  maybe a mapping to go to ~/.kubeconfig or $KUBECONFIG

just threw a bunch of ideas, any of them stick?

All of them sound great!
The main take away is that you are voting for the monitor overview view 👍
