Connect your Kubernetes clusters to monitor node and pod health, resource usage, events, and logs in one place. Nova runs as a lightweight DaemonSet (one agent per node) and auto-discovers your workloads with read-only access.
Go to Settings > Integrations, find the Kubernetes tile, and click Connect.
Apply the Nova agent with your API key. Use the manifest or the Helm chart:
The agent needs a read-only ClusterRole to list pods, nodes, and events. The chart creates it for you, or apply it manually if you manage RBAC yourself.
Within a minute, nodes and pods appear in Nova with live CPU, memory, and restart counts. No per-pod config needed.
Enable pod log shipping and alerts on events like CrashLoopBackOff, OOMKilled, and failed scheduling.
The DaemonSet runs one agent per node, so metrics scale with your cluster automatically. If you also run the host agent on the nodes, Nova deduplicates the overlap.
