Using the Kubernetes Dashboard
This information covers how you can use the dashboard to monitor and interact with the Kubernetes cluster.
Kubernetes Dashboard
The dashboard is a web-based Kubernetes user interface. You can use the dashboard to interact with the Kubernetes cluster the same way you can with the Kubectl for IBM® z/OS® (kubectl) command line interface. For example, you can use the dashboard to get an overview of Pods running on your cluster, as well as for creating or modifying individual Kubernetes resources.
The dashboard can provide a summary view on the state of Kubernetes resources in your cluster and on any errors that may have occurred.
To find out more about what the Kubernetes Dashboard offers, see 
Kubernetes Dashboard. The Kubernetes Dashboard is provided in
the IBM z/OS Control Plane Appliance (zCPA) when the zCPA is part of the IBM
z/OS Container Platform (zOSCP) cluster.
To use the dashboard, it must be started using Kubeadm for IBM z/OS (kubeadmz), a z/OS UNIX command line utility. See kubeadmz commands for how to start the dashboard using the
kubeadmz dashboard start command.
Once the dashboard is started, tokens to access the dashboard are returned and stored in the user's $HOME/.kubeadmz/.dashboard file. One token provides administrative privileges so that modifications to Kubernetes cluster resources can be performed when using the dashboard. The other token provides monitoring-only privileges so that Kubernetes cluster resources can only be viewed.
See kubeadmz commands for how to stop the dashboard using the
kubeadmz dashboard stop command.
