Navigation to Kubernetes Dashboard with Agent Connection Issues

Problem to solve

Part of the larger Kubernetes Dashboard Feature: GitLab built-in Kubernetes dashboard Design (#365901)

When users navigate to the Dashboard with an agent that is unable to perform connection to the cluster, we should provide them with an error state, and options on how to solve the problem.

Intended users

  • Priyanka (Platform Engineer)

User experience goal

Provide users an error state to help them troubleshoot when the agent has connection problems.

Proposal

Add an alert and empty state to the Kubernetes Dashboard, which tells users about the connection issue.
