# Deprecation of Kubernetes dashboard

**Published**: December 10, 2025

**Effective**: December 31, 2025

## Deprecation notice

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

## 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://coralogix.com/docs/user-guides/infrastructure/infrastructure-explorer/overview/index.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://coralogix.com/docs/user-guides/infrastructure/infrastructure-explorer/dashboard-vs-infrastructure-explorer/index.md).

## 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

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://coralogix.com/docs/user-guides/infrastructure/infrastructure-explorer/configure-application-telemetry/index.md)
- [Get started with Kubernetes monitoring](https://coralogix.com/docs/user-guides/infrastructure/infrastructure-explorer/getting-started-kubernetes-monitoring/index.md)
