PCP_KUBE_PODS(1)

NAME
pcp-kube-pods - list Kubernetes pods to scan for running PCP services

SYNOPSIS
$PCP_BINADM_DIR/discover/pcp-kube-pods

DESCRIPTION
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.

FILES
$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

PCP ENVIRONMENT
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).

SEE ALSO
kubectl-get(1), kubectl(1), pmcd(1), pmfind(1), pmDiscoverServices(3) and pcp.env(5).

DIAGNOSTICS
All diagnostics produced are provided by the kubectl command.

The kubectl exit status is propogated unchanged.
