How to get a list of kube-contexts using cli - kubernetes

I am trying to get a list of kube-contexts (and filtering for gke clusters) and with some tools ended up with that:
kubectl config get-contexts | tr -s ' ' | cut -d ' ' -f 2 | grep gke
output:
gke_dev-redacted
gke_prod-redacted
Is there an easier way to do that (which does not depend on the fact that the command output does not use tabs, but multiple whitespaces). yaml or json output is not supported by that command:
--output yaml is not available in kubectl config get-contexts; resetting to default output format

You can provide the --output flag to display only the contexts' names, for example:
$ kubectl config get-contexts --output=name
minikube
It's then easy to grep for GKE contexts:
$ kubectl config get-contexts --output=name | grep "gke_*"

How to get the count of the jobs running using kubectl command?

I am able to get the jobs under the namespace using kubectl command:
kubectl get jobs --namespace xxx
This is giving me the jobs information
I would like to print the count of jobs using kubectl command. How to do that?
go-template way, no pipes or installation needed. Just good old kubectl:
kubectl get jobs --namespace xxx -o go-template='{{printf "%d\n" (len .items)}}'
len is an inbuild function in go-template to return the number of elements to its argument. Eg: items.
If you are want to get number of job that are running in namespace you can get it using like this also
kubectl get jobs -n dcs | grep -v NAME | wc -l
You can use the, wc or jq for this
kubectl get jobs --output name | wc -l
with jq :
kubectl get jobs --output json | jq -j '.items | length'

Delete Kubernetes namespace only if it's empty?

I am using Helm to deploy multiple "components" of my application into a single namespace and using Jenkins to trigger create and destroy jobs. It doesn't seem that I can use Helm to delete the namespace thus I am looking to just use a Kubernetes command.
However, It seems that if I use kubectl delete namespace it will forcefully destroy the namespace and all its resources.
I'd like to destroy the namespace only if it is empty. Is there a command to do this?
I'd like destroy the namespace only if it is empty. Is there a command
to do this?
No there is not command to do that. This behavior is by design.
I would suggest a different approach. You should have all your deployment yamls in version control system for all of the components including namespace. When you want to create use kubectl create -f deployment.yaml and when you want to delete use kubectl delete -f deployment.yaml
See Remove Empty Namespaces Operator, it can do exactly what you want.
Why? Because it's not so easy to iterate over resources in the namespace to decide if it's empty or not. After all, there are "default resources" like default service account and probably other stuff from you tooling/operators.
So these resources should be excluded from iteration. Bash scripting becomes too complicated this way. And one day I decided to implement it with Python.
You can run kubectl get all --namespace YOUR_NAMESPACE and then depends on output call delete namespace
try this, better iterate over kube-api resources and this will give every resource list inside the namespace.
kubectl api-resources --verbs=list --namespaced -o name \
| xargs -n 1 kubectl get --show-kind --ignore-not-found -l <label>=<value> -n
<namespace>
or another approch
kubectl api-resources --verbs=list --namespaced -o name | `
%{ kubectl get $_ --show-kind --ignore-not-found -l <label>=<value> -n
<namespace> }
There's not a simple command to check a namespace before delete, it requires some kubectl scripting or a kube API client.
From the github issue discussing get alls limitations liggit provides an example and adding some jq processing you can get a (slow) command that errors unless it successfully finds all resource types are empty (no items):
set -o pipefail
kubectl api-resources --verbs=list --namespaced -o name \
| xargs -n 1 kubectl get --ignore-not-found -n YOUR_NAMESPACE -o json \
| jq '.items[] | .kind + "/" + .metadata.name | error'
just use folloing to delete all empty namespaces
kubectl get ns --no-headers -o custom-columns=":metadata.name" | xargs -I{} kubectl get all -n {} 2>&1 | grep "No" | cut -d " " -f 5 | xargs -I{} kubectl delete namespace {}
you can list empty namespaces by this
kubectl get ns --no-headers -o custom-columns=":metadata.name" | xargs -I{} kubectl get all -n {} 2>&1 | grep "No" | cut -d " " -f 5

Get values of deployed images helm/kubernetes

I'm looking for an easy way to find what version of my images I have deployed in my kubernetes environment.
The closest thing I can find to what I want is helm get values <namespace> -a
(but this gets values and dumps all (computed) values)
Is there an easier/clean way to get a list of images and versions deployed??
Thanks in advance
You can use kubectl to get all images form all pods running in the namespace/cluster. See List All Container Images Running in a Cluster.
For one namespace:
kubectl get pods -n <namespace> -o jsonpath="{..image}" | tr -s '[[:space:]]' '\n' | sort | uniq -c
For the whole cluster:
kubectl get pods --all-namespaces -o jsonpath="{..image}" | tr -s '[[:space:]]' '\n' | sort | uniq -c
I use something like this:
kubectl get po --all-namespaces -o yaml | grep image: | cut -d ":" -f2,3 | sort | uniq
this command shows all images used in your cluster and removes the duplicates.
You can use the helm plugin - helm images.
URL: https://github.com/nikhilsbhat/helm-images
Usage:
images get [RELEASE] [CHART] [flags]

Listing all resources in a namespace

I would like to see all resources in a namespace.
Doing kubectl get all will, despite of the name, not list things like services and ingresses.
If I know the the type I can explicitly ask for that particular type, but it seems there is also no command for listing all possible types. (Especially kubectl get does for example not list custom types).
Any idea how to show all resources before for example deleting that namespace?
Based on this comment , the supported way to list all resources is to iterate through all the api versions listed by kubectl api-resources:
kubectl api-resources enumerates the resource types available in your cluster.
this means you can combine it with kubectl get to actually list every instance of every resource type in a namespace:
kubectl api-resources --verbs=list --namespaced -o name \
| xargs -n 1 kubectl get --show-kind --ignore-not-found -l <label>=<value> -n <namespace>
This may not get all resources but it may be what someone is looking for
kubectl get all,cm,secret,ing -A
This seems to get most of the resources, prefixed with the type.
At least, it gets:
pod
service
daemonset
deployment
replicaset
statefulset
job
configmap
secret
ingress
This doesn't get custom resources but does get services.
Else this does something similar:
for i in `kubectl api-resources | awk '{print $1}'`; do kubectl get $i; done
Running v1.13
I ended up needing this same functionality due to failed Helm deployments that left remnants in a specific namespace. Here's a function you can put in your bash profile:
function kubectlgetall {
for i in $(kubectl api-resources --verbs=list --namespaced -o name | grep -v "events.events.k8s.io" | grep -v "events" | sort | uniq); do
echo "Resource:" $i
if [ -z "$1" ]
then
kubectl get --ignore-not-found ${i}
else
kubectl -n ${1} get --ignore-not-found ${i}
fi
done
}
Usage: kubectlgetall <namespace>
Example: get all resources from the kafka namespace:
kubectlgetall kafka
Complete solution
kubectl -n <NAMESPACE> get $(kubectl api-resources --namespaced=true --no-headers -o name | egrep -v 'events|nodes' | paste -s -d, - ) --no-headers
Answer of rcorre is correct but for N resources it make N requests to cluster (so for a lot of resources this approach is very slow). Moreover, not found resources (that have not instances) are very slow for getting with kubectl get.
There is a better way to make a request for multiple resources:
kubectl get pods,svc,secrets
instead of
kubectl get pods
kubectl get svc
kubectl get secrets
So the answer is:
#!/usr/bin/env bash
# get all names and concatenate them with comma
NAMES="$(kubectl api-resources \
--namespaced \
--verbs list \
-o name \
| tr '\n' ,)"
# ${NAMES:0:-1} -- because of `tr` command added trailing comma
# --show-kind is optional
kubectl get "${NAMES:0:-1}" --show-kind
or
#!/usr/bin/env bash
# get all names
NAMES=( $(kubectl api-resources \
--namespaced \
--verbs list \
-o name) )
# Now join names into single string delimited with comma
# Note *, not #
IFS=,
NAMES="${NAMES[*]}"
unset IFS
# --show-kind is enabled implicitly
kubectl get "$NAMES"
If you are using kubectl krew plug-in, I will suggest using get-all.
It can get almost 90% of resources. Including configmap, secret, endpoints, istio, etc...
A Powershell implementation of rcorre's answer would look like
kubectl api-resources --verbs=list --namespaced -o name | `
%{ kubectl get $_ --show-kind --ignore-not-found -l <label>=<value> -n <namespace> }
All kubernetes objects are stored in etcd.
All objects are stored in ETCD v3 the following way:
/registry/<object_type>/<namespace>/<name>
I suggest just to take the list of all resources of some namespace from etcd v3 directly:
ETCDCTL_API=3 etcdctl --endpoints=<etcd_ip>:2379 get / --prefix --keys-only | grep -E "^/\w+/\w+/<namespace>/+"
Just covering some basics:
Resources can be fetched using the kubectl get command.
Resources can be filtered by namespace using the -n [NAMESPACE] or --namespace [NAMESPACE] flags.
I will use the -A (same as --all-namespaces) flag in the following examples for brevity.
Some of the other answers show how to list available resource types:
kubectl api-resources --verbs=list -o name
With this in mind, we can get all resources, leveraging xargs and sed:
kubectl get "all,$(kubectl api-resources --verbs=list -o name | xargs | sed 's/ /,/g')" -A
An alternative to xargs is to use tr:
kubectl get "$(kubectl api-resources --verbs=list -o name | tr '\n' ',')all" -A
I think this could be se simplest way to print out all the resource name in a kubernetes cluster:
#!/bin/bash
for resource in [$(kubectl api-resources -o name | tr "\n" " ")]
do
kubectl get $resource --all-namespaces -o jsonpath='{range .items[*]}{.metadata.name}{"\n"}'
done
to specify the namespace you just need to modify the line in the loop setting --namespace=<your-namespace> and remove --all-namespaces
Here's a PowerShell version of what other's have said
function getall {
# https://stackoverflow.com/questions/47691479/listing-all-resources-in-a-namespace
[CmdletBinding()]
param(
$namespace
)
$types=kubectl api-resources --verbs=list --namespaced -o name
kubectl get $($types -join ",") -n $namespace --show-kind
}
It's not a 100% solution, but for me works the following
kgetall='kubectl get namespace,replicaset,secret,nodes,job,daemonset,statefulset,ingress,configmap,pv,pvc,service,deployment,pod --all-namespaces'
and just call
kgetall
But obviously I expected that behavior from
kubectl get all --all-namespaces
in the first place.
Following this solution, in fish shell it looks like below.
Add the following function to your ~/.config/fish/config.fish
function kall
kubectl -n $argv get (string join ',' (kubectl api-resources --namespaced --verbs list -o name))
end
the easy way for me to retrieve all the contents of the namespace was
kubectl get all -n

How do I extract multiple values from kubectl with jsonpath

I've found jsonpath examples for testing multiple values but not extracting multiple values.
I want to get image and name from kubectl get pods.
this gets me name
kubectl get pods -o=jsonpath='{.items[*].spec.containers[*].name}' | xargs -n 1
this gets me image
kubectl get pods -o=jsonpath='{.items[*].spec.containers[*].image}' | xargs -n 1
but
kubectl get pods -o=jsonpath='{.items[*].spec.containers[*].[name,image}' | xargs -n 2
complains invalid array index image - is there a syntax for getting a list of node-adjacent values?
Use below command to get name and image:
kubectl get pods -Ao jsonpath='{range .items[*]}{#.metadata.name}{" "}{#.spec.template.spec.containers[].image}{"\n"}{end}'
It will give output like below:
name image
Useful command, I had to modify it a little to make it work (failed with -a flag). Also, I added a filter to app label and one more field to get: namespace, pod name, image
kubectl get pods --all-namespaces -o jsonpath='{range .items[*]}{#.metadata.namespace}{"\t"}{#.metadata.name}{"\t"}{#.spec.containers[*].image}{"\n"}{end}' -l app=nginx
Thanks! I had to change a little bit, but this worked for me:
#!/bin/bash
releases=$(kubectl get deployment -A --output=jsonpath='{range .items[*]}{#.metadata.namespace}{"|"}{#.metadata.name}{"\n"}{end}')
for release in $releases; do
namespace=$( echo $release | cut -d "|" -f 1)
deployment=$( echo $release | cut -d "|" -f 2)
kubectl rollout restart deployments -n "${namespace}" "${deployment}"
done
