Configure the Resources Widget
You can configure the Resources widget to show specific resources. By default, the widget shows Name,
Health, and Resource Kind columns for the resources that you select. You can configure the widget to show
additional columns for resources of a particular resource kind.
You can also configure filters to limit the resources that the widget shows and specify the default sort order
of the resources. The filtering criteria that you define applies whether you define resources in the Resources
widget configuration or another widget provides resources to the Resources widget. If a resource that
another widget provides does not meet the filtering criteria, it does not appear in the widget.
