kubectl: Display resource (CPU/Memory/Storage) usage of nodes or pods.
$ kubectl top ${select}
try on your machine
The command "kubectl top ${select}" is used to get resource usage statistics of one or more Kubernetes objects.
Here's an explanation of each part of the command:
- "kubectl" is the command-line tool for interacting with Kubernetes clusters.
- "top" is a subcommand of "kubectl" used to fetch resource usage metrics.
- "${select}" is a placeholder variable that needs to be replaced with the specific Kubernetes objects for which you want to fetch resource usage. For example, you can specify the name of a Pod, Deployment, or Node.
By running this command, you can get information about the CPU and memory usage of the selected Kubernetes object(s). The output will display the name of the object and the metrics like CPU usage percentage and memory usage in quantities like bytes or human-readable formats.
