How to get the name of running pod instead of a terminating pod?

Hi I am having a shell script.

i am trying the following command to get a pod name

K6_POD=$(kubectl get pod -l 'app.kubernetes.io/component=k6' -n k6 -o jsonpath="{.items[0].metadata.name}")

however with the above command, it returns the name of a terminating pod instead of a pod with status Running appreciate if you can help

Solution

  • You can add the --field-selector flag e.g. kubectl get pods --field-selector=status.phase=Running
