- I’m using Grafana v8.5.13 hosted on linux platform

- I want to build a panel which shows all the pods health / status in that particular namespace or cluster wise which is part of kubernetes

- I’m trying to build using heatmap

- I’m not able to arrive at that point where I can display the status of all the pods

- So I wanted to ask for the steps or right procedure to build it

Or Has anyone already built it so that I Can reuse the same

Please can anyone guide me as I’m completely new to this ?
