Purpose: KubeLedger tracks Kubernetes CPU, memory, and GPU usage by namespace for usage accounting and cost allocation.
Cost accounting: It accounts for non-allocatable resources and node overhead to support chargeback and showback.
Right-sizing: It compares resource usage with requests over time to help identify over-provisioning and plan capacity.
Retention: The site says KubeLedger retains a full year of usage analytics and has a fixed footprint under 100 MB.
Dashboards: Built-in dashboards show hourly CPU and memory trends for seven days, daily accounting for 14 days, and monthly accounting for 12 months.
Exports: Charts and datasets can be exported as PNG, CSV, or JSON.
Integrations: KubeLedger has a Prometheus exporter and an official Grafana dashboard.
AI integration: An optional MCP server exposes ten read-only tools for MCP-aware assistants including Claude, Gemini CLI, Cursor, Windsurf, and Cline.
MCP access limits: The MCP server is disabled by default, has no authentication at the tool layer, and is exposed as a ClusterIP service in v1.
Deployment: The maker documents installation on Kubernetes and OpenShift using Kustomize or Helm.
Access requirements: KubeLedger requires read-only access to Kubernetes API endpoints including the Metrics API.
Maker and origin: RealOps Labs maintains KubeLedger; the project was originally created and architected by Rodrigue Chakode.
