Kubernetes Containers

This page lists all containers and associated information such as node name, container pod name, image ID and so on for each container managed by Kubernetes.

Kubernetes inventory data will be updated to reflect new inventory, and inventory that is no longer present will be removed each and every time the Flexera Kubernetes Inventory Agent collects inventory from a Kubernetes cluster(s) in your environment.

Results can be exported to the following output formats: RTF, PDF, CSV, and XLSX.

Available columns

Columns are grouped into the following categories. The category name appears on the top of the column heading when you drag a property from the Column Chooser. Properties that belong to the same category appear under single category title.

Some columns are displayed by default and others can be displayed through the column chooser. To manage columns and other UI options, see the topics under Managing Columns in a Table.

Cluster Properties

The following Cluster properties are displayed.

PropertyDescription
Cluster IDThe unique ID of the cluster containing the worker node where the pod runs the container instantiated from the image.
Cluster nameThe name of the cluster containing the worker node where the pod is running (typically hosting a container instantiated from the named image). Cluster names are not guaranteed to be unique.

Node Properties

The following Node properties are displayed.

PropertyDescription
CoresThe total number of processor cores available in the worker node.
Corporate unitThe corporate unit responsible for the worker node.
Cost centerThe cost center responsible for all costs incurred for the worker node.
LocationThe location within your enterprise that is responsible for the worker node.
Node nameThe host name of the Kubernetes worker node.
Operating systemThe operating system of the worker node.
ProcessorsThe total number of processors available in the worker node.
RoleThe role assigned to the worker node, such as Development, Test, and Production.
StatusThe current state of the worker node. It can have any of the following values: Active—The device is active, for which the inventory information is received from an inventory source. Archived—The device is in transition pending deletion, but is currently held because of its historical impacts on IBM PVU sub-capacity retrospective calculations. Awaiting Inventory—This device is a place-holder that has not yet appeared in imported inventory from any source. Ignored—The device is not managed. An ignored device is not considered in license consumption calculations.

Container Pod Properties

The following Container Pod properties are displayed.

PropertyDescription
Container pod nameThe name of the Kubernetes pod that the container is running in.
NamespaceThe Kubernetes namespace for the pod where the container is running.
StatusThe status of the pod (for rows displaying a Kubernetes container, this is the pod where the container is running). The status may then be one of the following "pod phases": Failed Pending Running Succeeded Unknown. For further information please see https://kubernetes\.io/docs/concepts/workloads/pods/pod\-lifecycle/​\.
UIDThe unique identifier of the pod where the container is running.

Container Properties

The following Container properties are displayed.

PropertyDescription
Container IDUnique identifier of the container.
Container nameThe name of the container.
Last used dateThe date which the container was last discovered to be running. For containers with: A Status of Running, displays the current date Any value of Status other than Running, displays the date when the container stopped running.
Repository tagsThe repository tag for the image used to launch this container. Most often this is the same value as for the image repository tags, but the value may be different where one of multiple image tags was selected for this container.
StatusThe status of the container, the four possible container states are: Running Terminated Waiting Unknown.

Image Properties

The following Image properties are displayed.

PropertyDescription
Image IDUnique identifier of the image. Populated for the image and containers instantiated from it. (Remains blank for any Kubernetes pod not running a container.) You can click on this link to open the Container Image Properties page for this image.
Last used dateThe last date a container deployed from this image and discovered as running. This value may be: In images with any running container, the most recent date that a reconcile occurred, when any container instantiated from this image was running. For images without a running container, the date when the most recently-running container stopped running.
Operating systemThe operating system in the user environment contained in the image that the container is running.
Repository tagsThe repository tag(s) associated with the image that the container is running.
