datumctl get

Display one or many resources

Synopsis

Display one or many resources.

Prints a table of the most important information about the specified resources. You can filter the list using a label selector and the —selector flag. If the desired resource type is namespaced you will only see results in the current namespace if you don’t specify any namespace.

By specifying the output as ‘template’ and providing a Go template as the value of the —template flag, you can filter the attributes of the fetched resources.

Use “datumctl api-resources” for a complete list of supported resources.

datumctl get [(-o|--output=)json|yaml|kyaml|name|go-template|go-template-file|template|templatefile|jsonpath|jsonpath-as-json|jsonpath-file|custom-columns|custom-columns-file|wide] (TYPE[.VERSION][.GROUP] [NAME | -l label] | TYPE[.VERSION][.GROUP]/NAME ...) [flags]
