Endpoint Slices view#

Kubernetes EndpointSlices group together network endpoints that back a Service. Each Service produces one or more EndpointSlices, which scale to large backends more efficiently than the legacy Endpoints resource. See Kubernetes Documentation: EndpointSlices for details.

To open the Endpoint Slices view, connect to a cluster and open Network > Endpoint Slices in the Navigator. The table lists every EndpointSlice in the cluster. Click a row to open its details panel. Filter by namespace with the Namespace drop-down at the top of the table, and filter by name with the Search Endpoint Slices field.

You can resize and reorder columns by dragging the column header, sort by clicking a header, and toggle column visibility. By default, the table shows the following columns:

Note

The table content can be exported in the CSV file format.

Column Description
Name Displays the name of each EndpointSlice.
Namespace Indicates the namespace in which the EndpointSlice resides.
Address Type The address family carried by the slice: IPv4, IPv6, or FQDN.
Endpoints The endpoint addresses included in the slice, with ready state where available.
Ports The ports exposed by the slice, formatted as port/protocol (for example, 8080/TCP).
Age Indicates how long the EndpointSlice has existed.
More Actions Clicking on the button opens a drop-down list with the following actions:
  • Edit

    Changes the configuration of the EndpointSlice.

  • Delete

    Removes the EndpointSlice.

View Endpoint Slices for a Service#

EndpointSlices are also accessible from the parent Service. Open a Service in the Services view, then open its details panel and select the Endpoint Slices tab. Each row shows:

  • Name of the slice
  • Endpoints as a ready / total ratio (for example, 3/5)
  • Ports exposed by the slice
  • Address Type
  • Age

If the Service has no slices, the tab shows No endpoint slices.
