Table: kubernetes_namespace - Query Kubernetes Namespaces using SQL

Kubernetes Namespaces are an abstraction used by Kubernetes to support multiple virtual clusters on the same physical cluster. These namespaces provide a scope for names, and they are intended to be used in environments with many users spread across multiple teams, or projects. Namespaces are a way to divide cluster resources between multiple uses.

Table Usage Guide

The kubernetes_namespace table provides insights into Namespaces within Kubernetes. As a DevOps engineer, explore namespace-specific details through this table, including metadata, status, and associated resources. Utilize it to uncover information about namespaces, such as their status, the resources allocated to them, and their overall usage within the Kubernetes cluster.

Examples

Basic Info

Explore the status and metadata of different segments within your Kubernetes environment. This allows you to gain insights into the current operational phase and additional details of each namespace, aiding in effective resource management and monitoring.

select
  name,
  phase as status,
  annotations,
  labels
from
  kubernetes_namespace;

select
  name,
  phase as status,
  annotations,
  labels
from
  kubernetes_namespace;

List manifest resources

Uncover the details of each manifest resource within your Kubernetes namespace, including its status and associated annotations and labels. This is particularly useful for tracking resource utilization and identifying any potential issues or anomalies that may impact system performance.

select
  name,
  phase as status,
  annotations,
  labels,
  path
from
  kubernetes_namespace
where
  path is not null;

select
  name,
  phase as status,
  annotations,
  labels,
  path
from
  kubernetes_namespace
where
  path is not null;

Schema for kubernetes_namespace

Name	Type	Description
_ctx	jsonb	Steampipe context in JSON form.
annotations	jsonb	Annotations is an unstructured key value map stored with a resource that may be set by external tools to store and retrieve arbitrary metadata.
conditions	jsonb	The latest available observations of namespace's current state.
context_name	text	Kubectl config context name.
creation_timestamp	timestamp with time zone	CreationTimestamp is a timestamp representing the server time when this object was created.
deletion_grace_period_seconds	bigint	Number of seconds allowed for this object to gracefully terminate before it will be removed from the system. Only set when deletionTimestamp is also set.
deletion_timestamp	timestamp with time zone	DeletionTimestamp is RFC 3339 date and time at which this resource will be deleted.
end_line	bigint	The path to the manifest file.
finalizers	jsonb	Must be empty before the object is deleted from the registry. Each entry is an identifier for the responsible component that will remove the entry from the list. If the deletionTimestamp of the object is non-nil, entries in this list can only be removed.
generate_name	text	GenerateName is an optional prefix, used by the server, to generate a unique name ONLY IF the Name field has not been provided.
generation	bigint	A sequence number representing a specific generation of the desired state.
labels	jsonb	Map of string keys and values that can be used to organize and categorize (scope and select) objects. May match selectors of replication controllers and services.
name	text	Name of the object. Name must be unique within a namespace.
owner_references	jsonb	List of objects depended by this object. If ALL objects in the list have been deleted, this object will be garbage collected. If this object is managed by a controller, then an entry in this list will point to this controller, with the controller field set to true. There cannot be more than one managing controller.
path	text	The path to the manifest file.
phase	text	The current lifecycle phase of the namespace.
resource_version	text	An opaque value that represents the internal version of this object that can be used by clients to determine when objects have changed.
source_type	text	The source of the resource. Possible values are: deployed and manifest. If the resource is fetched from the spec file the value will be manifest.
sp_connection_name	text	Steampipe connection name.
sp_ctx	jsonb	Steampipe context in JSON form.
spec_finalizers	jsonb	Finalizers is an opaque list of values that must be empty to permanently remove object from storage.
start_line	bigint	The path to the manifest file.
tags	jsonb	A map of tags for the resource. This includes both labels and annotations.
title	text	Title of the resource.
uid	text	UID is the unique in time and space value for this object.

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>' kubernetes_namespace
