kube-cargo-load 1.2

Kubernetes POD memory limits and usage overview.

kube-cargo-load

List Kubernetes PODs of a specific namespace or all namespaces with their configured memory or cpu requests, limits and the current memory or cpu usage.

Features

• Overview of PODs and their memory or cpu requests, limits and actual usage
• Provides an easy inspection of the cluster utilization in terms of memory or cpu
• Uses kubectl under the hood and reuses its config
• Supports --namespace and --all-namespaces command line arguments
• Supports --context command line argument filters and column setup

Example:

[15:09:58] enrico@host (0): ~% kubecargoload.py --all-namespaces
Namespace   Name                                          Requests       Limits        Usage            %

Setup

Requirements

In order to use kube-cargo-load, you will need:

• A Kubernetes cluster to connect to
• Kubernetes Metrics Server must be installed and running in Kubernetes (https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/metrics-server)
• kubectl (it must be configured for your Kubernetes cluster)
• Python 3.6 or newer

Installation

The easiest method is to install directly from pypi using pip:

pip install kube-cargo-load

If you prefer, you can download kube-cargo-load and install it directly from source:

python setup.py install

Download

Alternatively, you can download just the script and execute it:

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eht16/kube-cargo-load/master/kubecargoload.py
chmod +x kubecargoload.py
./kubecargoload.py

Command line options

usage: kubecargoload.py [-h] [-A] [--context CONTEXT] [-d] [-n NAMESPACE] [-H] [-s SORT] [-V]

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -A, --all-namespaces  list the requested object(s) across all namespaces (default: False)
  -c, --cpu             show cpu instead of memory (default: False)
  --context CONTEXT     the name of the kubeconfig context to use (default: None)
  -d, --debug           enable tracebacks (default: False)
  -n NAMESPACE, --namespace NAMESPACE
                        namespace to use (default: default)
  -H, --no-headers      do not print header line before the output (default: False)
  -s SORT, --sort SORT  sort by column(s), to sort by multiple columns seperate them with comma. Valid options: namespace,name,requests,limits,usage,ratio (default: namespace,name)
  -V, --version         show version and exit (default: False)
