Pods

Viewing pod information

This topic primarily describes how to view basic information, event information, log information, and YAML configuration information related to pods.

Viewing information in the console

In the left navigation bar, click Cluster.

In the left navigation bar, click Workload > Pod.

On the Pod page, select the target namespace to view the basic information of pods.

Click the pod name to go to the pod details page. Switch between tabs to view detailed information about the pod.

Tab	Description
Overview	Displays the basic information, network configuration, status, and associated storage information of the pod.
Container list	Displays the list of all containers for the pod and the basic information about each container.
Access method	Displays the information about the service associated with the pod. You can access the pod by using the access address of the service and the internal and external endpoints. For service-related descriptions, see Service overview.
Event	Shows pod events from the last hour. Please check them promptly. The events older than one hour are not available for viewing.
Log	Displays the logs of each container in the pod and the logs of exited containers. You can select a container and the number of displayed logs based on your business requirements. You can also download logs. tip The logs of exited containers refer to the logs generated during the last running of the containers before a restart.

(Optional) On the container details page, click the buttons in the upper-right corner to perform related operations on the pod.

Operation button	Description
Console	Click Console to log in to the container. This is equivalent to running the the kubectl exec -it {your_container_name} -- /bin/bash command in the cluster.
More operations	You can edit or export the YAML configuration of the pod, view monitoring data, and delete the pod. For a detailed description, see Managing pods.

Viewing information by using the kubectl command

Connect to the cluster where the pod is located. For more details, see Connecting to clusters.

Run the kubectl command to view pod information.

tip

Replace the variable symbol ${variable} in the command with the actual pod-related value. Take the command used to view pod details as an example. If ${pod-name} is demo-pod and ${pod-namespace} is default, the complete command is as follows:

View pod details

kubectl get pod ${pod-name} -n ${pod-namespace} -o wide

View pod events

kubectl describe pod ${pod-name} -n ${pod-namespace}

View pod logs

View the log of the first or the only container in a pod:

kubectl logs ${pod-name} -n ${pod-namespace}

View the log of the specified container in a pod:

kubectl logs ${pod-name} -n ${pod-namespace} [-c ${container-name}]

View the logs of all containers in a pod:

kubectl logs ${pod-name} -n ${pod-namespace} --all-containers

View the logs of exited containers in a pod:

kubectl logs ${pod-name} -c ${container-name} --previous

View pod YAML configurations

kubectl get pod ${pod-name} -n ${pod-namespace} -o yaml
