title: New K8s dashboard: Understand how cluster resources impact workloads

We’ve made it easier to understand the performance of your Kubernetes clusters and workloads with the **new Overview dashboard** (and an updated **Events dashboard** too!), so you can understand how the health of your cluster resources impact your workloads. And there’s nothing for you to do: Both dashboards are already available to you directly in the Kubernetes UI.

The **Overview dashboard** and **Events dashboard** provide the following:

1.  **Quickly see** Kubernetes cluster resource utilization, such as CPU and memory, and drill into specific nodes to correlate application state with the underlying infrastructure.
2.  **Assess** cluster health, analyze container restarts and warning events, and identify issues easily in a single, customizable dashboard.
3.  **Debug faster** by correlating infrastructure metrics, events, logs, and application performance monitoring information in one place.

# Questions you can ask

-   Are there any pods that are pending or failed?
-   Which Daemonsets, Deployments, Statefulsets, HPAs, or other Kubernetes resources are unhealthy?
-   Are all nodes ready and able to host pods?
-   How many pods, containers, nodes, or other Kubernetes resources are in the cluster?
-   When did a spike in Kubernetes warning events occur?
-   When did one or more pods enter a pending state?
-   Are there any pods unable to be scheduled to a node?
-   Can my nodes host additional pods?

# Get started today

1.  Log into New Relic, and on the left nav select **Kubernetes**.
2.  Choose the cluster you’d like to analyze.
3.  By default, you’ll arrive in the Kubernetes cluster explorer ‘view.’ Towards the top of the page, select either the **Overview NEW** or **Events** links.
