Pod View

The pod view displays information about resources, networks, and disks, so you can better monitor a pod.

Metric Description

Pod metrics include resource metrics, network metrics, and disk metrics. You can view these metrics in the following tables.

**Table 1** Resource metrics
Metric	Unit	Description
Total Containers	N/A	Total number of containers in a pod.
Running Containers	N/A	The number of running containers in a pod.
Pod Status	N/A	The number of pods in different states.
Container Restarts	N/A	The number of container restarts.
Used CPU	core	CPU used by the pod.
CPU Efficiency & Usage	%	- Efficiency: Used CPU/Requested CPU - Usage: Used CPU/Total CPU
Used Memory	byte	Memory used by a pod.
Memory Efficiency & Usage	%	- Efficiency: Used memory/Requested memory - Usage: Used memory/Total memory
CPU Throttling	%	The percentage of the CPU time that is in throttling status.
