Improve Kubernetes security by uncovering unused cluster resources with Orphaned resource

Greetings!

As Kubernetes workloads change over time, a few resources can lose their references and sit unused in your clusters. Without visibility into these leftovers, teams end up manually auditing clusters, carrying unnecessary etcd storage overhead, and risk overlooking stale ServiceAccounts during security reviews.

Recognizing this need, Site24x7 offers orphaned resource monitoring for your Kubernetes clusters.

With this, you can see exactly which objects are unused and why, right from your K8s dashboard.

Key benefits of orphaned resource monitoring

Here's what you get with this release:
  1. Reduce security blind spots by continuously detecting unused Kubernetes resources.

  2. Maintain a cleaner cluster by identifying orphaned resources across multiple Kubernetes object types.

  3. Speed up troubleshooting and cleanup with clear, reason-based explanations for every orphaned resource.

  4. Simplify cluster governance through a centralized view of orphaned resources across your Kubernetes environment.

Getting started

Orphaned resource monitoring requires the Full Stack Agent version 22.3.00 or above.
