kubectl janitor

Build Status Go Report Card LICENSE Releases

kubectl janitor is a kubectl plugin that assists in finding objects in a problematic state in your Kubernetes cluster.

Introduction

Troubleshooting Kubernetes clusters sometimes requires a combination of kubectl commands and other command-line tools such as jq to do correlations around the issues that the various objects might have. Moreover, sometimes the supported options of the --field-selector flag might be limited.

During troubleshooting scenarios, people need to identify the issues quickly without worrying about remembering all the different command combinations. The primary goal of this plugin is to collect some commonly executed kubectl command patterns to identify objects in a problematic state in the cluster and reduce the cognitive load for people troubleshooting.
