Namespace management

Home > Select project > Management > Namespace management

In a cluster project (CP), you can create and manage namespace projects through the Namespace management menu. This menu is not available in a namespace project.

Note

The cluster project provides a list box at the top of the Dashboard > Container Map menu to move to a sub-namespace or to the Namespace status / Namespace management menus.

Namespace moving

When to consider separating namespace projects​

Consider separating a cluster project into namespace projects in the following situations.

  • The cluster project contains many resources that can be split by Kubernetes namespace.

  • Each Kubernetes namespace is owned by a different team or person, and you only need to monitor specific namespaces.

Managing namespace projects​

Namespace management

In the number-1 area at the top, you can see the total number of targets and the number of key resources. In the number-2 Namespace list area, you can search, add, and remove namespace projects.

Creating a namespace project​

  1. In Namespace list, click + Add project for the item you want to create a project for.

  2. When the Add project window appears, confirm the namespace name and click OK.

  3. The new namespace project is split into a separate WhaTap project and no longer appears in the cluster project's Namespace list.

  4. To switch to the separated namespace project, use the project list box at the top of the cluster project's Dashboard > Container Map screen.

Cautions

When you add a namespace project, the namespace is split from the cluster project (CP) into a separate WhaTap project. The new namespace project is issued a new project access key.

If application monitoring is already installed in the separated namespace, change the project access key in the application monitoring settings to the project access key of the new namespace project.

Deleting a namespace project​

  1. In Namespace list, click the Configuration icon Configuration icon at the far right of the project you want to delete.

  2. Go to Project management.

  3. Click the Delete project button at the top right of the screen.

Caution

When you delete a namespace project, the user list and all collected data are deleted. Deleted data cannot be restored, so proceed with caution.
