PCP_KUBE_PODS(1) General Commands Manual PCP_KUBE_PODS(1)
pcp-kube-pods - list Kubernetes pods to scan for running PCP
services
$PCP_BINADM_DIR/discover/pcp-kube-pods
pcp-kube-pods uses kubectl(1) to provide a list of IP addresses
for PODs running in a local Kubenetes cluster, that may be running
PCP services like pmcd(1) and pmproxy(1).
It is used by the pmfind(1) command and the pmDiscoverServices(3)
API as a ``shell'' command.
The script invokes the kubectl get pod command line (see
kubectl-get(1)) to discover IP addresses for pods. The
.status.podIP output field is extracted from the Kubernetes pod
object(s). Additional options can be specified via configuration
file, such as -l service=database to restrict the results using
Kubernetes pod labels. The default configuration file is
$PCP_SYSCONF_DIR/discover/pcp-kube-pods.conf.
If no local kubectl command is found, nothing is reported and an
exit code indicating success is returned.
All diagnostics produced are provided by the kubectl command.
The kubectl exit status is propagated unchanged.
$PCP_BINADM_DIR/discover
default path to address discovery commands like pcp-kube-pods
$PCP_SYSCONF_DIR/discover/pcp-kube-pods.conf
configuration file containing command line options passed to
kubectl-get
$PCP_SYSCONF_DIR/discover/pcp-kube-pods.disabled
existence of this file causes the script to report nothing
Environment variables with the prefix PCP_ are used to
parameterize the file and directory names used by PCP. On each
installation, the file /etc/pcp.conf contains the local values for
these variables. The $PCP_CONF variable may be used to specify an
alternative configuration file, as described in pcp.conf(5).
kubectl-get(1), kubectl(1), pmcd(1), pmfind(1),
pmDiscoverServices(3) and pcp.env(5).
