+## Overview
-KDM (Kubernetes Docker Monitor) is a lightweight, terminal-based monitoring CLI tool that automatically detects and monitors running Docker containers and Kubernetes pods. It provides real-time resource usage, health status, and unified views of your runners.
+KDM (Kubernetes Docker Monitor) is a lightweight CLI tool that automatically detects and monitors running Docker containers and Kubernetes pods. It provides real-time health status, live dashboards, log fetching, and alert notifications — all from your terminal.
+
+Unlike tools that focus on a single runtime ([k9s] for Kubernetes or [lazydocker] for Docker), KDM gives you a **unified view** of both worlds.
+

+[lazydocker]: https://github.com/jesseduffield/lazydocker
+
+---
## Features
-- **Auto-Detection**: Automatically detects Docker containers and Kubernetes pods in your local environment.
-- **Unified Runner View**: Combined view of Docker and Kubernetes workloads.
-- **Health Monitoring**: Advanced health status for both containers and pods (Ready, Unhealthy, CrashLoopBackOff, etc.).
-- **Live Watch Mode**: Real-time monitoring of resource usage.
-- **Logs**: Easily fetch logs from both Docker and Kubernetes sources.
-- **Beautiful UI**: Interactive terminal UI powered by Ink and Commander.
+| Feature | Description |
+|---------|-------------|
+| **Auto-Detection** | Automatically discovers Docker containers and Kubernetes pods in your environment |
+| **Unified Runner View** | Combined table of Docker and Kubernetes workloads in a single command |
+| **Health Monitoring** | Color-coded health status with watch mode for continuous polling |
+| **Live Dashboard** | Real-time Ink-based TUI that refreshes every 3 seconds |
+| **Log Fetching** | Retrieve logs from containers or pods with automatic Docker-to-Kubernetes fallback |
+| **Alert Notifications** | Send alerts via Discord webhook or email SMTP on failures |
+| **Minikube Support** | Check Minikube profile status and connectivity |
+
+---
## Installation
-Install kdm-cli via npm:
+
+
+### Global Install
+
```bash
npm install -g kdm-cli
```
-Run directly with npx:
+### Run Directly
```bash
npx kdm-cli
```
+
+
+**Requirements:**
+
+- [Node.js](https://nodejs.org) >= 18
+- Docker daemon (for container features)
+- Kubernetes cluster or [Minikube](https://minikube.sigs.k8s.io) (for pod features)
+
+---
+
+## Quick Start
+
+Once installed, run KDM with no arguments to display the welcome banner, connection status, and available commands:
+
+```bash
+kdm
+```
+
+You should see output similar to:
+
+```
+Docker: ✔ CONNECTED (3 running)
+Kubernetes: ✔ CONNECTED (5 running)
+Minikube: ✔ RUNNING
+```
+
+---
+
## Usage
### Show Workloads
+Display running containers, pods, or both in a formatted table.
+
```bash
-kdm show runners # Show all running pods + containers
-kdm show pods # Show kubernetes pods
-kdm show containers # Show docker containers
-kdm show minikube # Show minikube status
+kdm show runners # Combined view: pods + containers
+kdm show pods # Kubernetes pods only
+kdm show containers # Docker containers only
+kdm show minikube # Minikube profile status
```
### Health Status
+Check and monitor the health of your workloads with color-coded output.
+
```bash
-kdm health pods # Show health status for pods
-kdm health containers # Show health status for containers
+kdm health all # Both pods and containers
+kdm health pods # Pods only
+kdm health containers # Containers only
+kdm health all -w # Watch mode: auto-refresh every 5 seconds
+kdm health pods -w -i 2 # Watch mode: refresh every 2 seconds
```
-### Monitoring & Logs
+### Live Dashboard
+
+Monitor all workloads in real time with an interactive terminal dashboard.
```bash
-kdm watch # Live monitoring mode
-kdm logs # Show logs for a container or pod
+kdm watch # Opens Ink-based live dashboard (Ctrl+C to exit)
+```
+
+### Log Fetching
+
+Retrieve the last 100 lines of logs from a container or pod. Docker is tried first; Kubernetes is used as a fallback.
+
+```bash
+kdm logs # Container name/ID prefix or pod name
+```
+
+### Configuration
+
+Set up notification services and manage configuration interactively.
+
+```bash
+kdm config setup # Interactive setup (Discord webhook / Email SMTP)
+kdm config list # Show current configuration
+kdm config set # Set a specific value
+kdm config clear # Clear all configuration
```
### Help
```bash
-kdm --help
+kdm --help # Show all commands and options
+kdm --help # Show help for a specific command
```
-## Technical Details
+---
+
+## Configuration
+
+KDM stores configuration locally using the [`conf`](https://github.com/sindresorhus/conf) package.
+
+### Config File Location
+
+| OS | Path |
+|---------|------|
+| macOS | `~/Library/Application Support/kdm-cli` |
+| Linux | `~/.config/kdm-cli` |
+| Windows | `%APPDATA%\kdm-cli` |
-KDM is built with:
-- **TypeScript** & **Node.js**
-- **Commander.js** for CLI orchestration
-- **dockerode** for Docker integration
-- **@kubernetes/client-node** for Kubernetes integration
-- **Ink** for terminal UI
-- **tsup** for high-performance bundling
+### Environment Variables
+
+| Variable | Description |
+|----------|-------------|
+| `KDM_SMTP_PASSWORD` | SMTP password (overrides stored config for security) |
+
+### Notification Services
+
+Set up alerts to be notified when containers restart or pods enter failure states (`CrashLoopBackOff`, `ImagePullBackOff`, `Failed`, etc.).
+
+```bash
+kdm config setup
+```
+
+Supports:
+
+- **Discord** — via webhook URL
+- **Email (SMTP)** — via SMTP credentials
+
+Alerts are rate-limited with a configurable cooldown (default: 300 seconds).
+
+```bash
+kdm config set alert_cooldown 600 # 10 minutes between alerts
+```
+
+---
+
+## Alert Monitoring
+
+KDM automatically checks for failure conditions and sends notifications when configured:
+
+| Condition | Severity | Source |
+|-----------|----------|--------|
+| Container restarting | Warning | Docker |
+| Container non-zero exit | Critical | Docker |
+| Pod phase is `Failed` | Critical | Kubernetes |
+| `CrashLoopBackOff` | Critical | Kubernetes |
+| `ImagePullBackOff` | Critical | Kubernetes |
+| `CreateContainerConfigError` | Critical | Kubernetes |
