Get a clean list of running pods in the current namespace
Using commands like oc get pods or kubectl get pods returns a list of pods with lots of extra information, including pods that have completed or in an error state, plus other information. For example: # Get a list of all running pods in the current namespace (Kubernetes) kubectl get pods # Get a list of all running pods in the current namespace (OpenShift) oc get pods NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE apply-route-restriction-28067995-h4dxn 0/3 Completed 0 6m21s apply-route-restriction-28067995-jdmwf 0/3 Completed 0 11m apply-route-restriction-28068000-ktpg2 1/3 ErrImagePull 0 81s apply-route-restriction-28068000-q7vmp 0/3 Completed 0 6m22s apply-route-restriction-28068005-tr69x 0/3 Completed 0 82s ste4site-db-ha-5gvs-0 4/4 Running 1 (10d ago) 25d ste4site-db-ha-wfsc-0 4/4 Running 0 25d ste4site-repo1-incr-28067280-26fdv 0/1 Completed 0 12h ste4stie-repo1-incr-28067760-bdcqm 0/1 Completed 0 4h6m ste4site-repo1-incr-28068000-82kw6 0/1 Completed 0 6m22s ste4site-web-app-dev-25-7jwbw 1/1 Running 0 29d ste4site-web-svc-dev-40-trd9h 1/1 Running 0 5d17h ste4site-web-svc-dev-41-deploy 0/1 Error 0 5d18h This is great if you want an overview of the namespace state, but if you’re automating a task or prefer a cleaner look, you can reduce the amount of information in the pod list to something more readable and easier to use in a script....
