Table: helm_template - Query Kubernetes Helm Templates using SQL

Helm Templates are part of Kubernetes, a platform for managing containerized applications across a cluster of nodes. Helm, a package manager for Kubernetes, uses templates to generate Kubernetes manifest files, which describe the resources needed for applications. These templates offer a way to manage complex applications and their dependencies in a standardized, repeatable, and efficient manner.

Table Usage Guide

The helm_template table provides insights into Helm Templates within Kubernetes. As a DevOps engineer, explore template-specific details through this table, including chart details, metadata, and template files. Utilize it to understand Kubernetes deployment configurations, manage complex applications, and their dependencies more efficiently.

Important Notes

The table will show the raw template as defined in the file. To list the fully rendered templates, use table helm_template_rendered.

Examples

Basic info

Explore the basic information of your Helm charts, including their names and paths. This can help you gain insights into your Helm configuration, understand its structure, and identify any potential issues.

select
  chart_name,
  path,
  raw
from
  helm_template;

select
  chart_name,
  path,
  raw
from
  helm_template;

List templates defined for a specific chart

Explore which templates are defined for a specific chart in a Helm-based application deployment. This can be useful in understanding the configuration and setup of a specific application like 'redis'.

select
  chart_name,
  path,
  raw
from
  helm_template
where
  chart_name = 'redis';

select
  chart_name,
  path,
  raw
from
  helm_template
where
  chart_name = 'redis';

Schema for helm_template

chart_name	text	The name of the chart.

Export

This table is available as a standalone Exporter CLI. Steampipe exporters are stand-alone binaries that allow you to extract data using Steampipe plugins without a database.

You can download the tarball for your platform from the Releases page, but it is simplest to install them with the steampipe_export_installer.sh script:

/bin/sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://steampipe.io/install/export.sh)" -- kubernetes

You can pass the configuration to the command with the --config argument:

steampipe_export_kubernetes --config '<your_config>' helm_template
