How to get number of pods in AKS that were active in a given timeframe

Question

So, I'm having an unexpectedly hard time figuring this out. I have a kubernetes cluster deployed in AKS. In Azure (or Kubernetes dashboard), How do I view how many active pods there were in a given time frame?

You can use the query below to count the number of active pods:

KubePodInventory 
| where TimeGenerated > ago(2d)//set the time frame to 2 days
| where PodStatus == "Running"
| project PodStatus
| summarize count() by PodStatus

Here is the test result:

Original answer:

If you have configured monitoring, then you can use kusto query to fetch it.

Steps as below:

1.Go to azure portal -> your AKS.

2.In the left panel -> Monitoring -> click Logs.

3.In the table named KubePodInventory, there is a field PodStatus which you can use it as filter in your query. You can write your own kusto query and specify the Time range via portal(by clicking the Time range button) or in query(by using ago() function). You should also use the count() function to count the number.
