Table: kubernetes_persistent_volume_claim - Query Kubernetes Persistent Volume Claims using SQL

A Kubernetes Persistent Volume Claim (PVC) is a request for storage by a user. It is similar to a pod in Kubernetes. PVCs can request specific size and access modes like read and write for a Persistent Volume (PV).

Table Usage Guide

The kubernetes_persistent_volume_claim table provides insights into the Persistent Volume Claims within a Kubernetes cluster. As a DevOps engineer, you can use this table to explore details about each claim, including its current status, requested storage capacity, and access modes. This table is beneficial when you need to manage storage resources or troubleshoot storage-related issues in your Kubernetes environment.

Examples

Basic Info

Explore the status and capacity of persistent storage volumes in a Kubernetes environment. This can help you manage resources effectively and ensure optimal allocation and usage.

select
name,
namespace,
volume_name as volume,
volume_mode,
access_modes,
phase as status,
capacity ->> 'storage' as capacity,
creation_timestamp,
data_source,
selector,
resources,
age(current_timestamp, creation_timestamp)
from
kubernetes_persistent_volume_claim;
select
name,
namespace,
volume_name as volume,
volume_mode,
access_modes,
phase as status,
json_extract(capacity, '$.storage') as capacity,
creation_timestamp,
data_source,
selector,
resources,
(julianday('now') - julianday(creation_timestamp)) * 24 * 60 * 60 as age
from
kubernetes_persistent_volume_claim;

List manifest resources

Explore the various resources within a manifest by identifying their names, namespaces, and statuses. This is useful for understanding the capacity and configuration of your persistent storage volumes, particularly when you need to assess the availability and allocation of resources.

select
name,
namespace,
volume_name as volume,
volume_mode,
access_modes,
phase as status,
capacity ->> 'storage' as capacity,
data_source,
selector,
resources,
path
from
kubernetes_persistent_volume_claim
where
path is not null;
select
name,
namespace,
volume_name as volume,

json_extract(capacity, '$.storage') as capacity,

path
from
kubernetes_persistent_volume_claim
where
path is not null;

Schema for kubernetes_persistent_volume_claim

NameTypeOperatorsDescription
_ctxjsonbSteampipe context in JSON form.
access_modesjsonbList of ways the volume can be mounted.
annotationsjsonbAnnotations is an unstructured key value map stored with a resource that may be set by external tools to store and retrieve arbitrary metadata.
capacityjsonbThe actual resources of the underlying volume.
conditionsjsonbThe Condition of persistent volume claim.
context_nametextKubectl config context name.
creation_timestamptimestamp with time zoneCreationTimestamp is a timestamp representing the server time when this object was created.
data_sourcejsonbThe source of the volume. This can be used to specify either: an existing VolumeSnapshot object (snapshot.storage.k8s.io/VolumeSnapshot), an existing PVC (PersistentVolumeClaim) or an existing custom resource that implements data population (Alpha).
deletion_grace_period_secondsbigintNumber 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_timestamptimestamp with time zoneDeletionTimestamp is RFC 3339 date and time at which this resource will be deleted.
end_linebigintThe path to the manifest file.
finalizersjsonbMust 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_nametextGenerateName is an optional prefix, used by the server, to generate a unique name ONLY IF the Name field has not been provided.
generationbigintA sequence number representing a specific generation of the desired state.
labelsjsonbMap 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.
nametextName of the object. Name must be unique within a namespace.
namespacetextNamespace defines the space within which each name must be unique.
owner_referencesjsonbList 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.
pathtextThe path to the manifest file.
phasetextPhase indicates the current phase of PersistentVolumeClaim.
resource_versiontextAn opaque value that represents the internal version of this object that can be used by clients to determine when objects have changed.
resourcesjsonbRepresents the minimum resources the volume should have.
selectorjsonbThe actual volume backing the persistent volume.
source_typetextThe 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_nametextSteampipe connection name.
sp_ctxjsonbSteampipe context in JSON form.
start_linebigintThe path to the manifest file.
status_access_modesjsonbThe actual access modes the volume backing the PVC has.
storage_classtextName of StorageClass to which this persistent volume belongs. Empty value means that this volume does not belong to any StorageClass.
tagsjsonbA map of tags for the resource. This includes both labels and annotations.
titletextTitle of the resource.
uidtextUID is the unique in time and space value for this object.
volume_modetextDefines if a volume is intended to be used with a formatted filesystem or to remain in raw block state.
volume_nametextThe binding reference to the PersistentVolume backing this claim.

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_persistent_volume_claim
