In my professional environment it is common for "completed" pods to outnumber active ones and they often clutter the output of kubectl get pods
like so:
$ kubectl get pods
finished-pod-38163 0/1 Completed 2m
errored-pod-83023 0/1 Error 2m
running-pod-20899 1/1 Running 2m
I can filter them out using --show-all=false
:
$ kubectl get pods --show-all=false
running-pod-20899 1/1 Running 2m
However I would prefer not to have to type out --show-all=false
every time I want to see my running pods. Is it possible to configure kubectl
to disable --show-all
by default rather than having it enabled by default?
From kubectl get pods --help
:
-a, --show-all=true: When printing, show all resources (default show all pods
including terminated one.)
I know I could create some shell alias kgetpo
, but this would remove support for tab-completion so I'd prefer native solutions if they exist.
You can create something like this:
kubectl get pods --field-selector=status.phase==Running
