10.3 Verifying the Pods

1. Run the following command to check the logstash pod is created correctly:

   kubectl get pods -n <namespace>

   For example:

   kubectl get pods -n oudsmns

   The output should look similar to the following:

   NAME                              READY   STATUS    RESTARTS   AGE
   oudsm-1                           1/1     Running   0          51m
   oudsm-logstash-56dbcc6d9f-mxsgj   1/1     Running   0          2m7s
   

   Note:

   Wait a couple of minutes to make sure the pod has not had any failures or restarts. If the pod fails you can view the pod log using:

   kubectl logs -f oudsm-logstash-<pod> -n oudsmns

   If the logstash pod has problems, see Troubleshooting Pod and Logstash Errors.
