Infrastructure Explorer provides a live, searchable inventory of your Kubernetes and cloud resources. It surfaces real-time context for every resource---tags, relationships, versions, ownership, and health status---without manual mapping or spreadsheets.

Ready to get started?

Connect your cluster or host to start exploring your infrastructure inventory. See [Getting started with Kubernetes monitoring](https://coralogix.com/docs/user-guides/infrastructure/infrastructure-explorer/getting-started-kubernetes-monitoring/index.md) or [Getting started with host monitoring](https://coralogix.com/docs/user-guides/infrastructure/infrastructure-explorer/getting-started-host-monitoring/index.md).

Note

Learn how [Infrastructure Explorer differs from traditional dashboards](https://coralogix.com/docs/user-guides/infrastructure/infrastructure-explorer/dashboard-vs-infrastructure-explorer/index.md) in resource discovery, troubleshooting, and real-time auditing.

## Get started

1. **Connect your cluster.** Follow [Getting started with Kubernetes monitoring](https://coralogix.com/docs/user-guides/infrastructure/infrastructure-explorer/getting-started-kubernetes-monitoring/index.md) to connect your clusters, collect live metadata, and visualize workloads.

1. **Enrich your data.** Add labels, annotations, and resource attributes using [Kubernetes enrichment options](https://coralogix.com/docs/user-guides/infrastructure/infrastructure-explorer/kubernetes-enrichment-options/index.md).

1. **Explore resources.** Open **Infrastructure**, then **Infrastructure Explorer** to browse, search, and filter your live inventory.

1. **Set up host monitoring.** Follow [Getting started with host monitoring](https://coralogix.com/docs/user-guides/infrastructure/infrastructure-explorer/getting-started-host-monitoring/index.md) to monitor cloud and on-prem machines.

1. **Enrich host data.** Add cloud tags and metadata using [Host data enrichment](https://coralogix.com/docs/user-guides/infrastructure/infrastructure-explorer/host-data-enrichment/index.md).

1. **Explore resources.** Open **Infrastructure**, then **Infrastructure Explorer** to view system health, usage, and ownership.

## What you get

A unified view of your infrastructure across Kubernetes and cloud environments. Navigate clusters, nodes, pods, containers, hosts, network interfaces, and more from a single screen.

From the Coralogix toolbar, select **Infrastructure**, then **Infrastructure Explorer**.

## Capabilities

- **[Explore resources](https://coralogix.com/docs/user-guides/infrastructure/infrastructure-explorer/explore-infra/index.md)** --- Search, filter, group, and analyze discovered infrastructure in Live and Inventory views
- **[Health overview](https://coralogix.com/docs/user-guides/infrastructure/infrastructure-explorer/health-overview/index.md)** --- Monitor resource health status across your environment
- **[Health policies](https://coralogix.com/docs/user-guides/infrastructure/infrastructure-explorer/infra-health/index.md)** --- Define and manage health rules that evaluate resource conditions
- **[Ownership](https://coralogix.com/docs/user-guides/infrastructure/infrastructure-explorer/ownership/index.md)** --- Assign teams and track accountability for infrastructure resources
- **[Compare configuration](https://coralogix.com/docs/user-guides/infrastructure/infrastructure-explorer/compare-configuration/index.md)** --- Diff resource configurations across time or between resources
- **[Application telemetry](https://coralogix.com/docs/user-guides/infrastructure/infrastructure-explorer/configure-application-telemetry/index.md)** --- Configure observability for applications running on your infrastructure
- **[Data usage](https://coralogix.com/docs/user-guides/infrastructure/infrastructure-explorer/infra-data-use/index.md)** --- Monitor and optimize infrastructure metric costs

## Investigate a resource

Select any resource to open a context-rich side panel with the full state, telemetry, and metadata for that resource.

This panel does not display secrets. Values resembling secrets (for example, tokens or keys) are randomly generated identifiers and pose no security risk.

### Fast insight: overview, events, metrics

Get a quick snapshot of resource health. **Overview** shows usage and status at a glance. **Events** reveals real-time issues like scheduling or probe failures. **Metrics** helps spot performance trends and resource bottlenecks.

### Deep dive: details, configuration, logs

For exact data, **Details** shows metadata like image tags and labels. **Configuration** exposes the full YAML/JSON spec. **Logs** provides real-time application output with search and filtering.

### Connected context: relationships, traces

Understand dependencies. **Relationships** maps Kubernetes resources to each other---pods to nodes, services to volumes. **Traces** (if enabled) follows requests across services to find latency or failure points.

### Time filtering

Narrow scope to a specific moment for focused debugging. Select a time range to reduce noise, compare behavior across logs, metrics, and traces, and uncover patterns.

Live view shows the latest resource state, marked with a timestamp and "Live" label.

Note

Access controls limit visibility to specific clusters, namespaces, or teams using [Scopes](https://coralogix.com/docs/user-guides/account-management/user-management/scopes/).
