Querying the List of Commands Running in a Container

Function

This API is used to query the list of commands running in a container.

Calling Method

For details, see Calling APIs.

Table 1 Path Parameters

Parameter

Mandatory

Type

Description

project_id

Yes

String

Project ID.

Table 2 Query Parameters

Parameter

Mandatory

Type

Description

enterprise_project_id

No

String

Specifies the ID of the enterprise project that the server belongs to.

An enterprise project can be configured only after the enterprise project function is enabled.

Enterprise project ID. The value 0 indicates the default enterprise project. To query servers in all enterprise projects, set this parameter to all_granted_eps. If you have only the permission on an enterprise project, you need to transfer the enterprise project ID to query the server in the enterprise project. Otherwise, an error is reported due to insufficient permission.

cluster_id

No

String

Cluster ID.

cluster_name

No

String

Cluster name

host_name

No

String

Name of the host where the container generating the log is located

host_id

No

String

ID of the host where the container generating the log is located

host_ip

No

String

IP address of the host where the container generating the log is located

container_id

No

String

Container ID

container_name

No

path

No

String

Process path corresponding to the command line

start_time

No

Long

Minimum time for querying logs

end_time

No

Long

Maximum time for querying logs

limit

Yes

Integer

Response Parameters

Status code: 200

Table 4 Response body parameters

Parameter

Type
