Table 2 Query Parameters

Parameter

Mandatory

Type

Description

dryRun

No

String

When present, indicates that modifications should not be persisted. An invalid or unrecognized dryRun directive will result in an error response and no further processing of the request. Valid values are: - All: all dry run stages will be processed

gracePeriodSeconds

No

Integer

The duration in seconds before the object should be deleted. Value must be non-negative integer. The value zero indicates delete immediately. If this value is nil, the default grace period for the specified type will be used. Defaults to a per object value if not specified. zero means delete immediately.

orphanDependents

No

Boolean

Deprecated: please use the PropagationPolicy, this field will be deprecated in 1.7. Should the dependent objects be orphaned. If true/false, the "orphan" finalizer will be added to/removed from the object's finalizers list. Either this field or PropagationPolicy may be set, but not both.

propagationPolicy

No

String

Whether and how garbage collection will be performed. Either this field or OrphanDependents may be set, but not both. The default policy is decided by the existing finalizer set in the metadata.finalizers and the resource-specific default policy. Acceptable values are: 'Orphan' - orphan the dependents; 'Background' - allow the garbage collector to delete the dependents in the background; 'Foreground' - a cascading policy that deletes all dependents in the foreground.

pretty

No

String

If 'true', then the output is pretty printed.

message

String

A human-readable description of the status of this operation.

metadata

io.k8s.apimachinery.pkg.apis.meta.v1.ListMeta object

Standard list metadata. More info: https://git.k8s.io/community/contributors/devel/sig-architecture/api-conventions.md#types-kinds

reason

String

A machine-readable description of why this operation is in the "Failure" status. If this value is empty there is no information available. A Reason clarifies an HTTP status code but does not override it.

status

String

Status of the operation. One of: "Success" or "Failure". More info: https://git.k8s.io/community/contributors/devel/sig-architecture/api-conventions.md#spec-and-status

Table 7 io.k8s.apimachinery.pkg.apis.meta.v1.StatusDetails

Parameter

Type

Description

causes

Array of io.k8s.apimachinery.pkg.apis.meta.v1.StatusCause objects

The Causes array includes more details associated with the StatusReason failure. Not all StatusReasons may provide detailed causes.

group

String

The group attribute of the resource associated with the status StatusReason.

kind

String

The kind attribute of the resource associated with the status StatusReason. On some operations may differ from the requested resource Kind. More info: https://git.k8s.io/community/contributors/devel/sig-architecture/api-conventions.md#types-kinds

name

String

The name attribute of the resource associated with the status StatusReason (when there is a single name which can be described).

retryAfterSeconds

Integer

If specified, the time in seconds before the operation should be retried. Some errors may indicate the client must take an alternate action

  • for those errors this field may indicate how long to wait before taking the alternate action.

uid

String

UID of the resource. (when there is a single resource which can be described). More info: http://kubernetes.io/docs/user-guide/identifiers#uids

Table 8 io.k8s.apimachinery.pkg.apis.meta.v1.StatusCause

Parameter

Type

Description

field

String

The field of the resource that has caused this error, as named by its JSON serialization. May include dot and postfix notation for nested attributes. Arrays are zero-indexed. Fields may appear more than once in an array of causes due to fields having multiple errors. Optional.

Examples: "name" - the field "name" on the current resource "items[0].name" - the field "name" on the first array entry in "items"

message

String

A human-readable description of the cause of the error. This field may be presented as-is to a reader.

reason

String

A machine-readable description of the cause of the error. If this value is empty there is no information available.

Table 9 io.k8s.apimachinery.pkg.apis.meta.v1.ListMeta

Parameter

Type

Description

continue

String

continue may be set if the user set a limit on the number of items returned, and indicates that the server has more data available. The value is opaque and may be used to issue another request to the endpoint that served this list to retrieve the next set of available objects. Continuing a consistent list may not be possible if the server configuration has changed or more than a few minutes have passed. The resourceVersion field returned when using this continue value will be identical to the value in the first response, unless you have received this token from an error message.

remainingItemCount

Long

remainingItemCount is the number of subsequent items in the list which are not included in this list response. If the list request contained label or field selectors, then the number of remaining items is unknown and the field will be left unset and omitted during serialization. If the list is complete (either because it is not chunking or because this is the last chunk), then there are no more remaining items and this field will be left unset and omitted during serialization. Servers older than v1.15 do not set this field. The intended use of the remainingItemCount is estimating the size of a collection. Clients should not rely on the remainingItemCount to be set or to be exact.

resourceVersion

String

String that identifies the server's internal version of this object that can be used by clients to determine when objects have changed. Value must be treated as opaque by clients and passed unmodified back to the server. Populated by the system. Read-only. More info: https://git.k8s.io/community/contributors/devel/sig-architecture/api-conventions.md#concurrency-control-and-consistency

selfLink

String

selfLink is a URL representing this object. Populated by the system. Read-only.

DEPRECATED Kubernetes will stop propagating this field in 1.20 release and the field is planned to be removed in 1.21 release.
