kubectl cluster-info dump

Synopsis

Dump cluster information out suitable for debugging and diagnosing cluster problems. By default, dumps everything to stdout. You can optionally specify a directory with --output-directory. If you specify a directory, Kubernetes will build a set of files in that directory. By default, only dumps things in the current namespace and 'kube-system' namespace, but you can switch to a different namespace with the --namespaces flag, or specify --all-namespaces to dump all namespaces.

The command also dumps the logs of all of the pods in the cluster; these logs are dumped into different directories based on namespace and pod name.

kubectl cluster-info dump [flags]

Examples

  # Dump current cluster state to stdout
  kubectl cluster-info dump
  
  # Dump current cluster state to /path/to/cluster-state
  kubectl cluster-info dump --output-directory=/path/to/cluster-state
  
  # Dump all namespaces to stdout
  kubectl cluster-info dump --all-namespaces
  
  # Dump a set of namespaces to /path/to/cluster-state
  kubectl cluster-info dump --namespaces default,kube-system --output-directory=/path/to/cluster-state
