Events in OpenShift Container Platform are modeled based on events that happen to API objects in an OpenShift Container Platform cluster.

Understanding events

Events allow OpenShift Container Platform to record information about real-world events in a resource-agnostic manner. They also allow developers and administrators to consume information about system components in a unified way.

Viewing events using the CLI

You can get a list of events in a given project using the CLI.

Procedure
  • To view events in a project use the following command:

    $ oc get events [-n <project>] (1)
    1 The name of the project.

    For example:

    $ oc get events -n openshift-config
    Example output
    LAST SEEN   TYPE      REASON                   OBJECT                      MESSAGE

  • To view events in your project from the OpenShift Container Platform console.

    1. Launch the OpenShift Container Platform console.

    2. Click HomeEvents and select your project.

    3. Move to resource that you want to see events. For example: HomeProjects → <project-name> → <resource-name>.

      Many objects, such as pods and deployments, have their own Events tab as well, which shows events related to that object.
