Kubectl plugin to show really all kubernetes resources

For a complete overview of all resources in a kubernetes cluster, kubectl get all --all-namespaces is not enough, because it simply does not show everything. This helper lists really all resources the cluster has to offer.

Get all resources...

• ... excluding events (this is hardly ever useful)

  ketall

• ... including events

  ketall --exclude=

• ... created in the last minute

  ketall --since 1m

  This flag understands typical human-readable durations such as 1m or 1y1d1h1m1s.

• ... in the default namespace

  ketall --namespace=default

• ... at cluster level

  ketall --only-scope=cluster

• ... using list of cached server resources

  ketall --use-cache

  Note that this may fail to show really everything, if the http cache is stale.

• ... and combine with common kubectl options

  KUBECONFIG=otherconfig ketall -o name --context some --namespace kube-system --selector run=skaffold

Also see Usage.

There are several ways to install ketall. The recommended installation method is via krew.

Krew is a kubectl plugin manager. If you have not yet installed krew, get it at https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/krew. Then installation is as simple as

kubectl krew install get-all

The plugin will be available as kubectl get-all, see doc/USAGE for further details.

When using the binaries for installation, also have a look at doc/USAGE.
