About
OpsCart Watcher is a read-only Kubernetes operational triage dashboard that surfaces CrashLoops, security gaps, orphaned resources, and cost waste, then ranks them so operators know what to fix first. It runs without agents or stored cloud credentials, pairing a web dashboard with an evidence-backed CLI for cluster inspection.
At a glance
OpsCart Watcher ranks Kubernetes problems for triage. It is worth evaluating when you can already inspect cluster resources but need a quicker way to decide which problem to investigate first.
Good fit
Operators who want an extra read-only triage view in a test cluster.
Consider something else when
Keep your existing monitoring for paging and historical metrics, or if you cannot grant the documented resource reads.
Start here
Use a disposable namespace with one deliberately failing workload. Run a scan and compare the ranked finding with the pod events and status.
Cost and requirements
MIT-licensed Go project. The scanner needs Kubernetes read access and the dashboard watches resources through the API.
Limits to know
The CLI is a point-in-time scan. The dashboard analyzes cached state and can make targeted API reads for deeper investigation. Verify the evidence before acting on a ranking.

Why it made the leaderboard
OpsCart Watcher gives operators a prioritized, read-only view of what's actually wrong in a Kubernetes cluster (crash loops, security gaps, orphaned resources, cost waste) without granting agents cloud credentials.
