KDC - Kubernetes Dashboard Connector

Designed to partially replace kubectl app if your DevOps do not grant access to it.
As an alternative for kubectl, DevOps can set up Kubernetes Dashboard
web app and grant access to it. But as this solution is slow and not very convenient, I've created this tool to request logs and pod data from the cluster.

Features

• select kubernetes cluster to work with
• select kubernetes namespace to work with
• list namespaces
• list deployments
• list pods
• list jobs
• get logs from pods by name pattern. Multiple pods can be selected separated by space
• get logs from the latest job by name pattern
• delete pod by name pattern (1 per time, check if it is allowed)
• scale deployment by name pattern (1 per time, check if it is allowed)
• download logs to the file
• show the token of current cluster

Installation

pip install kdc-kubeconnector

Configuration

Find the config file here ~/.kdc/config.toml It will be created after the first run of the tool.

[default]
cluster = "localhost"
namespace = "default"

[log]
level = "INFO"
file = "kdc.log"
save = false

[connection]
retries = 3
delay = 1
page = 3000

[cluster.localhost]
url = "http://localhost:8001"
token = "token"
namespace = "default"

[cluster.dev]
url = "http://dev:8001
token = "token2"
namespace = "default"

[cluster.uat]
url = "http://uat:8001
token = "token3"
namespace = "default"

Usage Examples

List pods

kdc -p
kdc -p s=running --only running
kdc -p s=run  --only running
kdc -p n=nginx --only with name nginx
kdc -p s=run n=ngi --with name nginx

Get logs from the pod with name like nginx-sd4353453-4543d

kdc -l nginx

Get logs from the few pods

kdc -l nginx app1 app2

List namespaces

kdc -n

Set the namespace to work with by default

kdc -n default
kdc -n dev
kdc -n uat
