I'm looking for a command like "gcloud config get-value project" that retrieves a project's name, but for a pod (it can retrieve any pod name that is running). I know you can get multiple pods with "kubectl get pods", but I would just like one pod name as the result.
I'm having to do this all the time:
kubectl get pods # add one of the pod names in next line
kubectl logs -f some-pod-frontend-3931629792-g589c some-app I'm thinking along the lines of "gcloud config get-value pod". Is there a command to do that correctly?
There are many ways, a quick search you can find many solutions:
kubectl get pods -o name --no-headers=true
kubectl get pods -o=name --all-namespaces | grep kube-proxy
kubectl get pods -o go-template --template '{{range .items}}{{.metadata.name}}{{"\n"}}{{end}}'
please take a look to these links:
kubernetes list all running pods name
Kubernetes list all container id
https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/access-application-cluster/list-all-running-container-images/
You can use the grep command to filter any output on stdout. So to get pods matching a specified pattern you can use a command like this:
> kubectl get pods --all-namespaces|grep grafanaOutput:
monitoring kube-prometheus-grafana-57d5b4d79f-smkz6 2/2 Running 0 1hTo only output the pod name, you can use the awk command with a parameter of '{print $2}', which displays the second column of the previous output:
kubectl get pods --all-namespaces|grep grafana|awk '{print $2}'To only display one line you can use the head command like so:
kubectl get pods --all-namespaces|grep grafana|awk '{print $2}'|head -n 1
