What problem does it solve?
Kubernetes clusters often suffer from silent failures or cascading issues that are hard to diagnose quickly. kube-medic provides rapid triage by querying cluster state across nodes, pods, deployments, resources, and events to surface root causes and guide remediation.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Full cluster triage (sweep) to surface non-running pods, readiness issues, crashes, and warning events.
- Pod autopsy (pod) with container statuses, logs, events, and image mismatch detection.
- Deployment analysis (deploy) including rollout status, history, and related ReplicaSets.
- Resource and event insights (resources, events) to identify CPU/memory pressure and recent changes.
- Multi-cluster support via context flag to switch clusters, plus read-only safety with explicit write approvals for remediation.
- Outputs structured JSON suitable for AI consumption and integration with Control UI workflows.
Quick Start
Ask kube-medic to run a full cluster triage with sweep to identify health issues, and then inspect a specific pod with pod <name> if needed.
