Kubernetes: How do I get the status and restarts of a container using python?
You can do the following for example, to get all the pods and their status:
api_response = api_instance.list_namespaced_pod(namespace, pretty=pretty, timeout_seconds=timeout_seconds, watch=watch)for i in api_response.items: print(i.metadata.name + " " + i.status.phase)
To add to @rico's answer,
for pod in api_response.items: status = pod.status.phase container_status = pod.status.container_statuses[0] if container_status.started is False or container_status.ready is False: waiting_state = container_status.state.waiting if waiting_state.message is not None and 'Error' in waiting_state.message: status = waiting_state.reason print(pod.metadata.name + " " + status)You can also loop on the api call 'api_instance.list_namespaced_pod' to see the statuses changing online like in kubectl -n $NAMESPACE get pods -w
