Kubernetes Troubleshoot
Automatically diagnose common Kubernetes issues.
Trigger Phrases
- "왜 안돼", "왜 안되지", "pod가 죽어", "에러나"
- "troubleshoot", "debug", "diagnose"
- "CrashLoopBackOff", "ImagePullBackOff", "Pending", "Error"
Diagnostic Flow
1. Get Pod Status
export KUBECONFIG=$HOME/.kube/config.home
kubectl get pods -n <namespace> <pod-name> -o wide
2. Check Events
kubectl describe pod -n <namespace> <pod-name> | grep -A 20 "Events:"
3. Get Logs
# Current container
kubectl logs -n <namespace> <pod-name> --tail=100
# Previous container (if restarting)
kubectl logs -n <namespace> <pod-name> --previous --tail=100
# All containers in pod
kubectl logs -n <namespace> <pod-name> --all-containers=true --tail=50
4. Check Resource Status
# Node resources
kubectl top nodes
# Pod resources
kubectl top pods -n <namespace>
# PVC status
kubectl get pvc -n <namespace>
Common Issues & Solutions
CrashLoopBackOff
- Check logs for application errors
- Verify environment variables (Infisical secrets mounted?)
- Check resource limits (OOMKilled?)
- Validate startup/liveness probes
ImagePullBackOff
- Verify image name and tag
- Check imagePullSecrets configured
- Test registry connectivity
- Confirm image exists in registry
Pending
- Check node resources (CPU/Memory)
- Verify nodeSelector/affinity matches
- Check PVC binding status
- Review taints/tolerations
OOMKilled
- Increase memory limits
- Check for memory leaks in application
- Review JVM heap settings (if Java)
GPU Issues
# Check GPU operator
kubectl get pods -n gpu-operator
# Check device plugin
kubectl logs -n gpu-operator -l app=nvidia-device-plugin-daemonset --tail=50
# Check GPU allocation
kubectl describe node | grep -A 5 "nvidia.com/gpu"
ArgoCD Sync Issues
# App status
argocd app get <app-name>
# Sync details
argocd app sync <app-name> --dry-run
# Resource diff
argocd app diff <app-name>
# Force refresh
argocd app get <app-name> --refresh
