Overview

Not unlike other Kubernetes objects, those managed by Kong Gateway Operator also provide the status field. This field provides invaluable information about the current state of the object.

Typically, to obtain object’s status you can use the kubectl get command like so:

kubectl get <TYPE> <NAME> -o jsonpath-as-json='{.status}'

The above command will yield a json object which depends on the actual schema of the status field and the state of the object.

To learn more about status field of Kong Gateway Operator managed objects pick one of them from the menu on the left.
