Drilldown
Drilldown lets you navigate from any resource into its related resources — from a Deployment into its ReplicaSets, from a Namespace into its Workloads, from a ConfigMap into the Deployments that reference it. The action bar shows context-aware buttons whose labels change based on what you're viewing, so you always know where you'll land.
How It Works
- Select a resource in the table
- Drilldown buttons appear in the action bar (alongside Scale, Delete, etc.)
- Click a button — the table reloads showing only the related resources
- Breadcrumbs update to show your path (e.g.,
Deployments > my-app > ReplicaSets) - Navigate back with
⌘[(macOS) /Ctrl+[(Windows/Linux) or click a breadcrumb level
Drilldown automatically sets up the correct filters — no manual filtering needed. You can drill multiple levels deep.
Navigation Paths
Deployments → ReplicaSets → Pods
The most common path. Select a Deployment to see its ReplicaSets, then drill further into individual Pods.
Navigate back through breadcrumbs to return to any previous level:
DaemonSets → Pods
Jobs → Pods
Nodes → Pods
See all Pods running on a specific Node.
Namespaces → Workloads
Namespaces offer the richest drilldown — the primary action shows Workloads, with context actions for Deployments (⇧D), Services (⇧S), ConfigMaps (⇧C), and Secrets (⇧K).
Services → Pods
Kustomizations → Managed Resources
See all Kubernetes resources deployed by a Flux Kustomization.
ConfigMaps → Deployments
Reverse lookup — find all Deployments that reference a specific ConfigMap.
CRDs → Custom Resource Instances
Drill into any Custom Resource Definition to see its instances.
