Running a kubectl get pods on my deployed application (ONAP), shows that all pods are Running. However the Kubernetes dashboard shows that 29 pods failed. So what does failed mean in this context?
Is it the cumulative times that pods failed before they then perhaps subsequently ran correctly?
I guess you mean the number of restarts, in which case, yes, that's what it is.
But if a pod has restarted so many times, you should take a look at it.
Imagine a pod that gradually gets to the limits of its resources (CPU, memory or both), and fails every 2 days. In 2 months your pod will restart 30 times. It might not look like a big deal, but obviously it's not completely healthy.
