</head>
The commands/steps listed on this page can be used to check the most important Kubernetes resources and apply to [Rancher Launched Kubernetes](../../how-to-guides/new-user-guides/launch-kubernetes-with-rancher/launch-kubernetes-with-rancher.md) clusters.
Make sure you configured the correct kubeconfig (for example, `export KUBECONFIG=$PWD/kube_config_cluster.yml` for Rancher HA) or are using the embedded kubectl via the UI.
## Nodes
### Get nodes
Run the command below and check the following:
- All nodes in your cluster should be listed, make sure there is not one missing.
- All nodes should have the **Ready** status (if not in **Ready** state, check the `kubelet` container logs on that node using `docker logs kubelet`)
- Check if all nodes report the correct version.
- Check if OS/Kernel/Docker values are shown as expected (possibly you can relate issues due to upgraded OS/Kernel/Docker)
```
kubectl get nodes -o wide
```
Example output:
```
NAME STATUS ROLES AGE VERSION INTERNAL-IP EXTERNAL-IP OS-IMAGE KERNEL-VERSION CONTAINER-RUNTIME
controlplane-0 Ready controlplane 31m v1.13.5 138.68.188.91 <none> Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS 4.15.0-47-generic docker://18.9.5
etcd-0 Ready etcd 31m v1.13.5 138.68.180.33 <none> Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS 4.15.0-47-generic docker://18.9.5
worker-0 Ready worker 30m v1.13.5 139.59.179.88 <none> Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS 4.15.0-47-generic docker://18.9.5
```
### Get node conditions
Run the command below to list nodes with [Node Conditions](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/architecture/nodes/#condition)
```
kubectl get nodes -o go-template='{{range .items}}{{$node := .}}{{range .status.conditions}}{{$node.metadata.name}}{{": "}}{{.type}}{{":"}}{{.status}}{{"\n"}}{{end}}{{end}}'
```
Run the command below to list nodes with [Node Conditions](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/architecture/nodes/#condition) that are active that could prevent normal operation.
```
kubectl get nodes -o go-template='{{range .items}}{{$node := .}}{{range .status.conditions}}{{if ne .type "Ready"}}{{if eq .status "True"}}{{$node.metadata.name}}{{": "}}{{.type}}{{":"}}{{.status}}{{"\n"}}{{end}}{{else}}{{if ne .status "True"}}{{$node.metadata.name}}{{": "}}{{.type}}{{": "}}{{.status}}{{"\n"}}{{end}}{{end}}{{end}}{{end}}'
```
Example output:
```
worker-0: DiskPressure:True
```
## Kubernetes leader election
### Kubernetes Controller Manager leader
The leader is determined by a leader election process. After the leader has been determined, the leader (`holderIdentity`) is saved in the `kube-controller-manager` endpoint (in this example, `controlplane-0`).
```
kubectl -n kube-system get endpoints kube-controller-manager -o jsonpath='{.metadata.annotations.control-plane\.alpha\.kubernetes\.io/leader}'
{"holderIdentity":"controlplane-0_xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx","leaseDurationSeconds":15,"acquireTime":"2018-12-27T08:59:45Z","renewTime":"2018-12-27T09:44:57Z","leaderTransitions":0}>
```
### Kubernetes Scheduler leader
The leader is determined by a leader election process. After the leader has been determined, the leader (`holderIdentity`) is saved in the `kube-scheduler` endpoint (in this example, `controlplane-0`).
```
kubectl -n kube-system get endpoints kube-scheduler -o jsonpath='{.metadata.annotations.control-plane\.alpha\.kubernetes\.io/leader}'
{"holderIdentity":"controlplane-0_xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx","leaseDurationSeconds":15,"acquireTime":"2018-12-27T08:59:45Z","renewTime":"2018-12-27T09:44:57Z","leaderTransitions":0}>
```
## Ingress Controller
The default Ingress Controller is Traefik and is deployed as a DaemonSet in the `kube-system` namespace. The pods are only scheduled to nodes with the `worker` role.
Check if the pods are running on all nodes:
```
kubectl -n kube-system get pods -o wide
```
Example RKE2 output:
```
kubectl -n kube-system get pods -o wide
NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE IP NODE
local-path-provisioner-xxxxxxxxxx-xxxxx 1/1 Running 0 17m x.x.x.x worker-1
rke2-traefik-xxxxxxxxxx-xxxxx 1/1 Running 0 14m x.x.x.x worker-1
svclb-rke2-traefik-xxxxxxxx-xxxxx 1/1 Running 0 13m x.x.x.x worker-0
...
```
Example K3s output:
```
kubectl -n kube-system get pods -o wide
NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE IP NODE
local-path-provisioner-xxxxxxxxxx-xxxxx 1/1 Running 0 17m x.x.x.x worker-1
traefik-xxxxxxxxxx-xxxxx 1/1 Running 0 14m x.x.x.x worker-1
svclb-traefik-xxxxxxxx-xxxxx 1/1 Running 0 13m x.x.x.x worker-0
...
```
If a pod is unable to run (Status is not **Running**, Ready status is not showing `1/1` or you see a high count of Restarts), check the pod details, logs and namespace events.
### Pod details
RKE2 example:
```
kubectl -n kube-system describe pods -l app.kubernetes.io/name=rke2-traefik
```
K3s example:
```
kubectl -n kube-system describe pods -l app.kubernetes.io/name=traefik
```
### Pod container logs
The below command can show the logs of all the pods labeled "app.kubernetes.io/name=rke2-traefik" if using RKE2 or "app.kubernetes.io/name=traefik" if using K3s, but it will display only 10 lines of log because of the restrictions of the `kubectl logs` command. Refer to `--tail` of `kubectl logs -h` for more information.
RKE2 example:
```
kubectl -n kube-system logs -l app.kubernetes.io/name=rke2-traefik
```
K3s example:
```
kubectl -n kube-system logs -l app.kubernetes.io/name=traefik
```
If the full log is needed, specify the pod name in the trailing command:
```
kubectl -n kube-system logs <pod name>
```
### Namespace events
```
kubectl -n kube-system get events
```
### Debug logging
To enable debug logging:
RKE2 example:
```
cat <<EOF | kubectl apply -f -
apiVersion: helm.cattle.io/v1
kind: HelmChartConfig
metadata:
name: rke2-traefik
namespace: kube-system
spec:
valuesContent: |-
additionalArguments:
- "--log.level=DEBUG"
EOF
```
K3s example:
```
cat <<EOF | kubectl apply -f -
apiVersion: helm.cattle.io/v1
kind: HelmChartConfig
metadata:
name: traefik
namespace: kube-system
spec:
valuesContent: |-
logs:
general:
level: "DEBUG"
EOF
```
### Check configuration
Retrieve generated configuration in each pod:
RKE2 example for manual Traefik configuration file check:
```
kubectl exec -n kube-system pod/traefik-xxxxxxxxx-xxxxx -- cat /var/lib/rancher/rke2/server/manifests/rke2-traefik-config.yaml
```
K3s example for manual Traefik configuration file check:
```
kubectl exec -n kube-system pod/traefik-xxxxxxxxx-xxxxx -- cat /var/lib/rancher/k3s/server/manifests/k3s-traefik-config.yaml
```
RKE2/K3s example for Traefik CLI argument configuration check:
```
kubectl get pod traefik-xxxxxxxxx-xxxxx -n kube-system -o jsonpath='{.spec.containers[0].args}'
```
## Rancher agents
Communication to the cluster (Kubernetes API via `cattle-cluster-agent`) and communication to the nodes (cluster provisioning via `cattle-node-agent`) is done through Rancher agents.
#### cattle-node-agent
Check if the cattle-node-agent pods are present on each node, have status **Running** and don't have a high count of Restarts:
```
kubectl -n cattle-system get pods -l app=cattle-agent -o wide
```
Example output:
```
NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE IP NODE
cattle-node-agent-4gc2p 1/1 Running 0 2h x.x.x.x worker-1
cattle-node-agent-8cxkk 1/1 Running 0 2h x.x.x.x etcd-1
cattle-node-agent-kzrlg 1/1 Running 0 2h x.x.x.x etcd-0
cattle-node-agent-nclz9 1/1 Running 0 2h x.x.x.x controlplane-0
cattle-node-agent-pwxp7 1/1 Running 0 2h x.x.x.x worker-0
cattle-node-agent-t5484 1/1 Running 0 2h x.x.x.x controlplane-1
cattle-node-agent-t8mtz 1/1 Running 0 2h x.x.x.x etcd-2
```
Check logging of a specific cattle-node-agent pod or all cattle-node-agent pods:
```
kubectl -n cattle-system logs -l app=cattle-agent
```
#### cattle-cluster-agent
Check if the cattle-cluster-agent pod is present in the cluster, has status **Running** and doesn't have a high count of Restarts:
```
kubectl -n cattle-system get pods -l app=cattle-cluster-agent -o wide
```
Example output:
```
NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE IP NODE
cattle-cluster-agent-54d7c6c54d-ht9h4 1/1 Running 0 2h x.x.x.x worker-1
```
Check logging of cattle-cluster-agent pod:
```
kubectl -n cattle-system logs -l app=cattle-cluster-agent
```
## Jobs and Pods
### Check that pods or jobs have status **Running**/**Completed**
To check, run the command:
```
kubectl get pods --all-namespaces
```
If a pod is not in **Running** state, you can dig into the root cause by running:
### Describe pod
```
kubectl describe pod POD_NAME -n NAMESPACE
```
### Pod container logs
```
kubectl logs POD_NAME -n NAMESPACE
```
If a job is not in **Completed** state, you can dig into the root cause by running:
### Describe job
```
kubectl describe job JOB_NAME -n NAMESPACE
```
### Logs from the containers of pods of the job
```
kubectl logs -l job-name=JOB_NAME -n NAMESPACE
```
### Evicted pods
Pods can be evicted based on [eviction signals](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/administer-cluster/out-of-resource/#eviction-policy).
Retrieve a list of evicted pods (podname and namespace):
```
kubectl get pods --all-namespaces -o go-template='{{range .items}}{{if eq .status.phase "Failed"}}{{if eq .status.reason "Evicted"}}{{.metadata.name}}{{" "}}{{.metadata.namespace}}{{"\n"}}{{end}}{{end}}{{end}}'
```
To delete all evicted pods:
```
kubectl get pods --all-namespaces -o go-template='{{range .items}}{{if eq .status.phase "Failed"}}{{if eq .status.reason "Evicted"}}{{.metadata.name}}{{" "}}{{.metadata.namespace}}{{"\n"}}{{end}}{{end}}{{end}}' | while read epod enamespace; do kubectl -n $enamespace delete pod $epod; done
```
Retrieve a list of evicted pods, scheduled node and the reason:
```
kubectl get pods --all-namespaces -o go-template='{{range .items}}{{if eq .status.phase "Failed"}}{{if eq .status.reason "Evicted"}}{{.metadata.name}}{{" "}}{{.metadata.namespace}}{{"\n"}}{{end}}{{end}}{{end}}' | while read epod enamespace; do kubectl -n $enamespace get pod $epod -o=custom-columns=NAME:.metadata.name,NODE:.spec.nodeName,MSG:.status.message; done
```
### Job does not complete
If you have enabled Istio, and you are having issues with a Job you deployed not completing, you will need to add an annotation to your pod using [these steps.](../../how-to-guides/advanced-user-guides/istio-setup-guide/enable-istio-in-namespace.md)
Since Istio Sidecars run indefinitely, a Job cannot be considered complete even after its task has completed. This is a temporary workaround and will disable Istio for any traffic to/from the annotated Pod. Keep in mind this may not allow you to continue to use a Job for integration testing, as the Job will not have access to the service mesh.
