This kubectl
plugin allows you to add, update, or remove conditions on Kubernetes nodes. It's a handy tool for cluster administrators to manage node status conditions effectively.
- Add a new condition to a node with specific details.
- Update an existing condition on a node, including status, reason, and message.
- Remove a condition from a node.
- Kubernetes cluster
kubectl
installed and configured to communicate with your cluster
To install the plugin, download the binary and make it executable:
curl -LO [YOUR_PLUGIN_BINARY_URL]
chmod +x ./kubectl-condition
mv ./kubectl-condition /usr/local/bin
The general syntax for using the plugin is as follows:
kubectl condition [NODE_NAME] [FLAGS]
kubectl condition -h
The 'condition' command allows you to add, update, or remove status conditions on nodes.
You need to provide the node name as an argument and use flags to specify the details of the condition.
The '--type' flag is required and it specifies the type of condition you wish to interact with.
The '--status' flag sets the status for the specific status condition and it can be 'true', 'false', or left blank for 'unknown'.
The '--reason' flag sets the reason for the specific status condition.
The '--message' flag sets the message for the specific status condition.
If you wish to remove the condition from the node entirely, use the '--remove' flag.
Usage:
condition [node name] [flags]
Examples:
# Add a new condition to a node
kubectl condition my-node --type Ready --status true --reason KubeletReady --message "kubelet is posting ready status"
# Update an existing condition on a node
kubectl condition my-node --type DiskPressure --status false --reason KubeletHasNoDiskPressure --message "kubelet has sufficient disk space available"
# Remove a condition from a node
kubectl condition my-node --type NetworkUnavailable --remove
