3 Reporting Oracle Cloud Native Environment Details

You can query the status of the environment, including such items as the installed modules, the configuration of specific hosts in a Kubernetes cluster, and so on, using the Platform CLI. This information can be useful for reporting status and for troubleshooting purposes.

The following sections contain information about reporting information about the environments, installed modules, and their associated properties.

Reporting Environment Information

To obtain general information about the environment and a summary of its modules, you can use the olcnectl module report or olcnectl environment report commands along with the --environment-name option to specify the environment you want information about, such as the following:

olcnectl module report \
--environment-name myenvironment

or

olcnectl environment report \
--environment-name myenvironment 

Environment details included in the response depend on the modules you have installed. Responses include information about each installed module, their status, and other related information. For example, response might include:

• Deployed Kubernetes module, including information such as cluster name and status such as:

  • The Kubernetes cluster name.

  • The status of pod networking.

  • The health status of the cluster.

• Cluster Node IP addresses, port numbers, and status information such as:

  • Networking status.

  • kubecfg file status.

  • SELinux status.

  • Swap status.

  • IP connectivity status.

• Other Installed modules including Helm chart details relating to each module.

Reporting Detailed Module Information

To isolate the summary information about specific modules in the environment, use the olcnectl module report command with the --environment-name and --name options to specify a module name. Only one module can be specified at a time. For example, the following command returns information about the Kubernetes cluster:

olcnectl module report \
--environment-name myenvironment \
--name mycluster

To obtain detailed information about a specific module (if the module has more detailed information) in the environment, you can add the --children option:

olcnectl module report \
--environment-name myenvironment \
--name mycluster \
--children

In this example, the results returns a table listing information such as:

• The summary module information included in the command without the --children option.

• Details for each node such as:

  • IP address, port number, and connectivity status.

  • Container images available.

  • Firewall settings such as open ports.

  • Kernel versions.

  • IP Interfaces.

  • Swap status.

  • Packages installed and corresponding version numbers.

  • Services running on the node.

Filtering Report Responses

To filter responses such that only specified properties are returned, you can use the olcnectl module report command along with the --include option. For example, the following command returns only Kubernetes package details and version numbers:

olcnectl module report \
--environment-name myenvironment \
--name mycluster \
--children \
--include "package"

To return one or more properties, use the --include option followed by a comma separated list of each property you want to return. For example, the following returns information about the state of a cluster and the services running on each node in the cluster:

olcnectl module report \
--environment-name myenvironment \
--name mycluster \
--children \
--include "service","status_check"

You can also exclude certain properties from the response using the --exclude option. For example, the following excludes only the kernel and IPS information from the response:

olcnectl module report \
--environment-name myenvironment \
--name mycluster \
--children \
--exclude "kernel","ips"

Changing Report Format

The default format for returned information is the table format. For example:

olcnectl module report \
--environment-name myenvironment \
--name mycluster

Displays output similar to:

╭────────────────────┬───────────────╮
│ myenvironment      │               │
├────────────────────┼───────────────┤
│ mycluster          │               │
├────────────────────┼───────────────┤
│ Property           │ Current Value │
├────────────────────┼───────────────┤
│ status_check       │ healthy       │
│ kubectl            │               │
│ kubecfg            │ file exist    │
│ podnetworking      │ running       │
│ externalip-webhook │ running       │
╰────────────────────┴───────────────╯

To return responses in YAML format, use the --format yaml option. For example:

olcnectl module report \
--environment-name myenvironment \
--name mycluster \
--format yaml

Displays output similar to:

Environments:
  myenvironment:
    ModuleInstances:
    - Name: mycluster
      Properties:
      - Name: kubecfg
        Value: file exist
      - Name: podnetworking
        Value: running
      - Name: externalip-webhook
        Value: running
      - Name: status_check
        Value: healthy
      - Name: kubectl

You can also redirect the YAML format output of the responses to a file by using a right angle bracket > followed by a file name. For example:

olcnectl module report \
--environment-name myenvironment \
--name mycluster \
--format yaml \
> cluster_summary.yaml

The contents of the response can be viewed in the file.
