Notifications
The notification bell brings together security patches and new versions for the components running in the open cluster, news from the DevOps world and monitoring alerts.
The bell
The bell in the top bar shows the unread count in red ("9+" above nine). Click it to open the panel. Items count as read when a tab has been visible for 2 seconds or when you open an item; Mark all as read reads them all.
Tabs
- Cluster tab (named after the open cluster): news only for the components running in that cluster. Kubby scans the cluster: the Kubernetes and RKE2 version, the nodes' kubelet, operating system and container runtime, Helm releases and workload images.
- DevOps: general news from CNCF, Kubernetes and the blogs you choose.
- Alerts: firing alerts in the open cluster's Prometheus (with Monitoring).
- Argo CD: Argo CD applications that need attention.
Categories
| Security patch | Patches for CVEs and vulnerabilities. |
|---|---|
| Version upgrade | A newer version than the one running, shown as "running 1.12.1 → 1.12.2". |
| New feature | New features, GA and beta announcements. |
Versions equal to or older than the running one are not shown. Each item names the component and the node or release it applies to. Clicking an item opens the article in your default browser.
Sources
Kubby ships with a list of sources. In Preferences → News you can turn sources off, add your own RSS or Atom feeds (https) and say which components they are about. Sources refresh when Kubby starts and every hour by default; set the interval to 1, 6 or 24 hours.
