Kubius · Pod resource usage

See which pods are eating your resources

kubectl top pods gives you a static snapshot. Kubius shows pod CPU and memory usage live, sortable, and - crucially - against each pod's requests and limits, so you can tell a busy pod from one that's about to be throttled or OOM-killed.

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

Usage that means something

Used vs requested vs limit

Every pod's CPU and memory usage is shown against its requests and limits - so you see who's near a limit, not just who's busy.

Sort to the top

Rank pods by CPU or memory (used or requested) to find the heaviest hitters instantly.

History as charts

Open a pod and see its CPU and memory over time with request, limit and capacity lines - a spike or a slow leak is obvious.

Per node, too

See top consumers on a specific node, so you can tell which workload is pushing a node toward pressure.

Straight to right-sizing

When a pod is over- or under-provisioned, jump to right-sizing recommendations and apply them.

Questions, answered

How is this different from kubectl top?

kubectl top is a static snapshot of usage. Kubius shows usage live and sortable, but also against each pod's requests and limits (not just raw numbers), and charts the history - so you can tell a pod that's near its limit from one that's simply busy.

Can I find the heaviest pods quickly?

Yes - sort pods by CPU or memory, used or requested, to surface the top consumers immediately, cluster-wide or on a specific node.

Do I need Prometheus?

No. Kubius reads usage from metrics-server, the same source kubectl top uses - there's nothing extra to install.

Can it help me fix over-provisioning?

Yes - from a pod you can jump to right-sizing recommendations that sample real usage and propose new requests and limits.
