Our deployment incorporates numerous external secrets; combined with existing secrets, this results in a very large number (over 300) of environment variables being exposed within the Pod. Could a filter input box be added to the Pod panel in Lens Desktop to allow for quick filtering by environment variable name? This would be extremely useful. Thank you!

Hi @shiropika, thanks for taking the time to write this up – it’s a fair ask. Scrolling through hundreds of environment variables isn’t practical, and a filter box on the Pod panel would make that much easier. I’ll pass it along to the team as a feature request.
