Kubius · Autoscaling (HPA)

See what your autoscalers are doing

A HorizontalPodAutoscaler is only as clear as its status. Kubius shows each HPA's current versus target metric, its min and max replicas, the workload it drives and whether it's currently scaling - live.

Works with Google GKE, Amazon EKS, Azure AKS, DigitalOcean, self-managed & more · macOS Sonoma (14) or later

Autoscaling you can actually see

Current vs target

See the metric the HPA is tracking, its current value and the target, so you know how close it is to scaling up or down.

Min and max replicas

The replica bounds and the current count are front and centre - a workload pinned at max is easy to spot.

The workload it drives

Click straight through to the Deployment or StatefulSet the HPA scales, and back.

Why it isn't scaling

HPA conditions and events surface the common blockers - missing metrics, unable to compute - so a stuck autoscaler makes sense.

Backed by real metrics

Kubius reads pod CPU and memory from metrics-server and charts them, so you can correlate scaling with actual load - no Prometheus.

Live and native

The status updates live as the autoscaler reacts, in a fast native app.

Questions, answered

What does Kubius show for an HPA?

The tracked metric's current and target values, the min/max replica bounds and current replicas, the workload it scales, and its status conditions and events - live.

Can it tell me why an HPA isn't scaling?

Yes - HPA conditions and events reveal the usual causes, like the metrics API not returning a value or the autoscaler being unable to compute a desired replica count.

Do I need Prometheus?

No. Kubius reads pod metrics from metrics-server (the same source the HPA uses for CPU/memory) and charts them - nothing extra to deploy.

Can I get to the workload it scales?

Yes, click through from the HPA to its target Deployment or StatefulSet and back.
