Cross-cluster Pod Query
This section describes how to query pods across clusters in the Whizard Observability Center.
For a single cluster, you can search for pods on the cluster’s pod page by pod name and pod IP address.
For a multi-cluster environment, you can search for specific pod information across clusters in the Whizard Observability Center by pod name or pod IP address.
Prerequisites
You should have the platform-admin role on the KubeSphere platform. For more information, see Users and Platform Roles.
The host cluster and member clusters that need monitoring must have the Whizard Observability Center enabled.
Note If the member cluster does not have the Whizard Observability Center enabled, the Whizard Observability Center will not be able to retrieve data from the member cluster.
Steps
Log in to the KubeSphere web console with a user having the platform-admin role.
Click
in the upper-right corner of the page and click Whizard Observability Center.Click Resource Query > Pods in the left navigation pane.
The pod list provides the following information:

Running: The pod has been assigned to a node, all containers in the pod have been created, and at least one container is running, starting, or restarting.
Pending: The pod has been accepted by the system, but at least one container has not been created or is not running. This state may indicate that the pod is waiting for scheduling or for the container image to be downloaded.
Completed: All containers in the pod have terminated successfully (with an exit code of 0) and will not be restarted.
Failed: All containers in the pod have terminated, and at least one container has terminated with a non-zero exit code.
Unknown: The system is unable to get the status of the pod. This state usually occurs when the system fails to communicate with the host where the pod is located.
Node

Pod IP Address
The virtual IP address of the pod within the cluster.
Project
The project the pod belongs to.
Cluster
