Kiali is an observability console for the Istio service mesh, providing topology visualization, health monitoring, configuration validation, and tracing integration. It can be installed as an Istio add-on or run locally against a cluster.
Use cases
- visualize istio service mesh traffic topology
- validate istio configuration for misconfigurations
- troubleshoot service mesh health and errors
- manage istio virtual services and destination rules
- view distributed traces with jaeger or tempo
- configure istio traffic routing via a UI
When to choose
- you run Istio or OpenShift Service Mesh and need a management console
- you want semantic validations of Istio config beyond static checks
- you need correlated logs, metrics, and traces for mesh troubleshooting
When to avoid
- you don't use a service mesh
- you need a general-purpose Kubernetes dashboard without Istio focus
