UI Bug - trouble viewing EKS pods by namespace

0

Inside the EKS resources section of the console, when I try to filter pods by namespace, I can select the namespace once, but whenever I try to change that filter after selecting it the first time, it won't let me change away from whatever my first selection is.

Steps to reproduce:

  • Have an account with multiple namepsaces in one EKS cluster
  • Look at cluster resources
  • View workloads > pods
  • Change the "All Namespaces" dropdown to a specific namespace
  • Try to change it again

After the first time I change it, the only way to be able to filter again is to refresh the page. When I refresh the page, it automatically has whichever option I tried to select in the dropdown.

Does anyone else see the same issue, or is it a problem with my browser?

This appears to be a known issue with the AWS Management Console's interface for viewing Kubernetes resources in Amazon EKS clusters. The behavior you're experiencing, where you can't change the namespace filter after selecting it once without refreshing the page, is not how the console is intended to function.

This is likely a user interface bug rather than an issue with your browser. The EKS console should allow you to switch between namespaces freely without requiring a page refresh. The fact that the dropdown remembers your last attempted selection after a refresh suggests that the selection is being recorded correctly, but the UI is not updating to reflect the change.

To work around this issue for now, you can:

  1. Refresh the page each time you want to change the namespace filter, as you've discovered.
  2. Use the kubectl command-line tool to view and filter pods by namespace, which provides more flexibility and reliability for viewing Kubernetes resources.
  3. Consider using alternative Kubernetes dashboard solutions that can be installed in your cluster if you need a more robust web-based interface.

It's worth noting that while the AWS Management Console provides a convenient way to view Kubernetes resources, it has limitations compared to dedicated Kubernetes management tools. For more advanced operations and troubleshooting, using kubectl or other Kubernetes-native tools is often more effective.

If this issue persists, it would be helpful to report it to AWS support so they can investigate and potentially fix the bug in a future console update.
