NAME

       pcp-kube-pods - list Kubernetes pods to scan for running PCP services

SYNOPSIS

       $PCP_BINADM_DIR/discover/pcp-kube-pods

DESCRIPTION

       pcp-kube-pods  uses  kubectl(1)  to  provide  a list of IP addresses for PODs running in a
       local Kubenetes cluster, that may be running PCP services like pmcd(1) and pmproxy(1).

       It is used by the pmfind(1) command and  the  pmDiscoverServices(3)  API  as  a  ``shell''
       command.

       The  script  invokes  the kubectl get pod command line (see kubectl-get(1)) to discover IP
       addresses for pods.  The .status.podIP output field is extracted from the  Kubernetes  pod
       object(s).   Additional  options  can  be  specified  via  configuration  file, such as -l
       service=database to restrict  the  results  using  Kubernetes  pod  labels.   The  default
       configuration file is $PCP_SYSCONF_DIR/discover/pcp-kube-pods.conf.

       If  no  local  kubectl  command  is found, nothing is reported and an exit code indicating
       success is returned.

DIAGNOSTICS

       All diagnostics produced are provided by the kubectl command.

       The kubectl exit status is propogated unchanged.

FILES

       $PCP_BINADM_DIR/discover
            default path to address discovery commands like pcp-kube-pods

       $PCP_SYSCONF_DIR/discover/pcp-kube-pods.conf
            configuration file containing command line options passed to kubectl-get

       $PCP_SYSCONF_DIR/discover/pcp-kube-pods.disabled
            existence of this file causes the script to report nothing

PCP ENVIRONMENT

       Environment variables with the prefix PCP_ are used to parameterize the file and directory
       names used by PCP.  On each installation, the file /etc/pcp.conf contains the local values
       for these variables.  The $PCP_CONF  variable  may  be  used  to  specify  an  alternative
       configuration file, as described in pcp.conf(5).
