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.

--field-selector string

-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.
