kubectl get

Synopsis

Display one or many resources.

Prints a table of the most important information about the specified resources. You can filter the list using a label selector and the --selector flag. If the desired resource type is namespaced you will only see results in the current namespace if you don't specify any namespace.

By specifying the output as 'template' and providing a Go template as the value of the --template flag, you can filter the attributes of the fetched resources.

Use "kubectl api-resources" for a complete list of supported resources.

kubectl get [(-o|--output=)json|yaml|name|go-template|go-template-file|template|templatefile|jsonpath|jsonpath-as-json|jsonpath-file|custom-columns|custom-columns-file|wide] (TYPE[.VERSION][.GROUP] [NAME | -l label] | TYPE[.VERSION][.GROUP]/NAME ...) [flags]

Options

-A, --all-namespaces
	If present, list the requested object(s) across all namespaces. Namespace in current context is ignored even if specified with --namespace.
--allow-missing-template-keys Default: true
	If true, ignore any errors in templates when a field or map key is missing in the template. Only applies to golang and jsonpath output formats.
--chunk-size int Default: 500
	Return large lists in chunks rather than all at once. Pass 0 to disable. This flag is beta and may change in the future.
--field-selector string
	Selector (field query) to filter on, supports '=', '==', and '!='.(e.g. --field-selector key1=value1,key2=value2). The server only supports a limited number of field queries per type.
-f, --filename strings
	Filename, directory, or URL to files identifying the resource to get from a server.
-h, --help
	help for get
--ignore-not-found
	If the requested object does not exist the command will return exit code 0.
-k, --kustomize string
	Process the kustomization directory. This flag can't be used together with -f or -R.
-L, --label-columns strings
	Accepts a comma separated list of labels that are going to be presented as columns. Names are case-sensitive. You can also use multiple flag options like -L label1 -L label2...
--no-headers
	When using the default or custom-column output format, don't print headers (default print headers).
-o, --output string
	Output format. One of: (json, yaml, name, go-template, go-template-file, template, templatefile, jsonpath, jsonpath-as-json, jsonpath-file, custom-columns, custom-columns-file, wide). See custom columns [https://kubernetes.io/docs/reference/kubectl/#custom-columns], golang template [http://golang.org/pkg/text/template/#pkg-overview] and jsonpath template [https://kubernetes.io/docs/reference/kubectl/jsonpath/].
--output-watch-events
	Output watch event objects when --watch or --watch-only is used. Existing objects are output as initial ADDED events.
--raw string
	Raw URI to request from the server. Uses the transport specified by the kubeconfig file.
-R, --recursive
	Process the directory used in -f, --filename recursively. Useful when you want to manage related manifests organized within the same directory.
-l, --selector string
	Selector (label query) to filter on, supports '=', '==', and '!='.(e.g. -l key1=value1,key2=value2). Matching objects must satisfy all of the specified label constraints.
--server-print Default: true
	If true, have the server return the appropriate table output. Supports extension APIs and CRDs.
--show-kind
	If present, list the resource type for the requested object(s).
--show-labels
	When printing, show all labels as the last column (default hide labels column)
--show-managed-fields
	If true, keep the managedFields when printing objects in JSON or YAML format.
--sort-by string
	If non-empty, sort list types using this field specification. The field specification is expressed as a JSONPath expression (e.g. '{.metadata.name}'). The field in the API resource specified by this JSONPath expression must be an integer or a string.
--subresource string
	If specified, gets the subresource of the requested object. Must be one of [status scale]. This flag is beta and may change in the future.
--template string
	Template string or path to template file to use when -o=go-template, -o=go-template-file. The template format is golang templates [http://golang.org/pkg/text/template/#pkg-overview].
-w, --watch
	After listing/getting the requested object, watch for changes.
--watch-only
	Watch for changes to the requested object(s), without listing/getting first.
