# Deprecation of Kubernetes dashboard

**Published**: December 10, 2025

**Effective**: December 31, 2025

## Deprecation notice[​](#deprecation-notice "Direct link to Deprecation notice")

The Kubernetes Dashboard will be deprecated and removed from the Coralogix interface on December 31, 2025.

## Why this is happening[​](#why-this-is-happening "Direct link to Why this is happening")

Modern infrastructure teams operate in increasingly complex environments. From multi-cluster Kubernetes setups to dynamic scaling, noisy neighbors, regional compliance, and growing customer SLAs, the demands have changed.

The Kubernetes Dashboard was built for simplicity and single-cluster visibility. It is not designed to scale with modern workloads or support the depth of troubleshooting teams now require.

[Infrastructure Explorer](https://docs-docusaurus.kinsta.page/user-guides/infrastructure/infrastructure-explorer/overview/.md) was purpose-built to address these gaps. It provides:

* Multi-cluster visibility and filtering
* Relationship-aware navigation between clusters, nodes, pods, and containers
* Real-time and historical metrics
* Inline access to logs, events, configurations, and ownership
* Alert overlays for faster root cause analysis

This upgrade helps reduce context switching, increase visibility, and resolve infrastructure issues faster. [See how it compares to the Kubernetes Dashboard](https://docs-docusaurus.kinsta.page/user-guides/infrastructure/infrastructure-explorer/dashboard-vs-infrastructure-explorer/.md).

## What is affected[​](#what-is-affected "Direct link to What is affected")

As of December 31, 2025, the following will be deprecated:

* The Kubernetes dashboard user interface
* Single-cluster pod and node views
* Real-time-only CPU, memory, and disk usage charts
* Basic filters limited to clusters or namespaces
* Events only visible from the cluster level

These capabilities will no longer be accessible. Use Infrastructure Explorer for all infrastructure observability workflows.

## What you need to do[​](#what-you-need-to-do "Direct link to What you need to do")

No manual data migration is required. Infrastructure Explorer already uses your Kubernetes metrics and metadata.

To get started with Infra Explorer:

* [Configure your applications to send telemetry](https://docs-docusaurus.kinsta.page/user-guides/infrastructure/infrastructure-explorer/configure-application-telemetry/.md)
* [Get started with Kubernetes monitoring](https://docs-docusaurus.kinsta.page/user-guides/infrastructure/infrastructure-explorer/getting-started-kubernetes-monitoring/.md)
