Show events by\from resource (Pod, SS, DS, Deployment etc)

[slimus]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Openshift resource pages (pods, deployments, ss, ds etc) have a tab with events (related to the resource). It is very helpful if you need to see and\or find a problem. Screenshot:

The idea is to add a new view for the resources and show event messages related to them. Use shortcut or other one to open view.

Describe alternatives you've considered

1. kubectl describe <pod-name>
2. k9s -> :events -> filter by pod name -- but I can't see messages in the list, I need to open each event to see details
3. k9s -> :po -> select pod -> d and scroll down to Events section

Community, feel free to add your thoughts here! Thanks!

On the d for describe, scroll down and toggle auto-refresh with r - that way you will see also the events with their messages live.

But still +1 for some :events alternative enriched with a message view.

Most pods only contain only few containers.

If you are looking at the containers of a pod, the screen has some empty space which could get used for displaying events.

But having a a column in the list-view of pods would be great, too.

I would also appreciate this feature, as it would make it way easier for debugging.

[sibelius]

is there a workaround ?

I don't know if this is exactly what you peeps are looking for, but k9s has a community plugin page where someone has created a nice way to do this for a highlighted resource in k9s.

https://github.com/derailed/k9s/blob/master/plugins/watch-events.yaml

If you haven't used the plugins before, I highly recommend it. Easy to set up and make your own.
