Cluster Name
The cluster name is inherited by default from the kubeconfig file. Change the cluster name to another value by updating it here. Note that doing so does not update your kubeconfig file.
Workspace
This is the Lens workspace that the cluster is associated with. Change workspaces by selecting a different workspace from the dropdown menu. Create a new workspace by clicking workspace in "Define cluster workspace" above the dropdown menu. This option will take you the workspaces editor. Create a new workspace and then navigate back to cluster settings.
Cluster Icon
Lens randomly generates an icon to associate with each newly-created cluster. Use this setting to choose your own icon.
HTTP Proxy
Some users will need to define an HTTP proxy for communicating with the Kubernetes API. Use this setting to do so.
Prometheus
Lens can be configured to query a Prometheus server installed in the cluster. Select a query format by choosing either to auto-detect or from the following configurations:
- Lens
- Helm Operator
- Prometheus Operator
- Stacklight
To learn more about custom Prometheus configurations, please refer to this guide.
