how to get status of a pod in kubernetes using go-client

12/19/2018

I am trying to delete a pod in my kubernetes cluster, then check its status to see how long does it take for the pod to get down, and up again. I could not find any helpful example for the second part which is getting a specific pod status using go-client. Any help is appreciated.

The status info is a sub-struct of the pod as a whole so you use the normal getter (clientset.CoreV1() etc) and then look in the .Status struct.

You can use Get function to get specific pod information (below examples are getting whole Status struct):

pod, _ := clientset.CoreV1().Pods("kubernetes").Get(pod.Name, metav1.GetOptions{})
fmt.Println(pod.Status)

Also, you can use List function to get all pods in the particular namespace and then range them:

pods, _ := clientset.CoreV1().Pods("kubernetes").List(metav1.ListOptions{FieldSelector: "metadata.name=kubernetes"})
for _, pod := range pods.Items {
    fmt.Println(pod.Name, pod.Status)
}

Hope this helps!
