Inspecting objects
Select an object to open its detail pane. The header shows its identity and status, plus the actions for its kind. The tabs:
| Tab | Shows |
|---|---|
| Overview | The object itself, with syntax-highlighted JSON |
| Events | What Kubernetes reported about it: failed probes, image pulls, scheduling |
| Logs | Pods and workloads. See Logs |
| Exec | Pods. See Exec and files |
| Related | The objects it is connected to |
Copy JSON and Copy Name are in the header.
Following the graph
Kubernetes records most links from one side only: a pod knows its node, but a node does not list its pods. Related walks both directions:
- a Deployment's actual pods;
- the node a pod runs on;
- the Services in front of a pod;
- the ConfigMaps and Secrets a pod mounts;
- an Ingress's backends.
Every row is clickable, so you can walk from an Ingress to the Service, to its pods, to the node they run on.
Events
The Events tab shows the events for the selected object. For the whole cluster, open Events in the sidebar's Cluster group; it starts with the newest.
Secrets
Secret values are masked everywhere Barney shows them: the overview, copies and the editor. Reveal secret values shows them for that one object; Hide secret values masks them again. To edit a Secret's YAML you reveal it first, on purpose.
To change an object, see Editing YAML and applying.
