Ability to filter Completed pods

[PeteE]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Feature request. We run some cronjobs in our cluster which show up as Completed pods. These are usually just noise that clutter up the pod list.

For example, we might have a deployment/service namedmyapi and a cronjob like myapi-cron. When filtering on myapi I'd like to exclude the Completed pods.

Describe the solution you'd like I'd like a configuration setting that would filter out Completed pods from the pod listing.

Describe alternatives you've considered A better solution might be a generic filtering mechanism that can be specified in a config file.

• filter pods by status
• filter pods by label or annotation
• Ability to toggle the filtering to ensure nothing is being missed.

Additional context I know this request is fairly vague so I will add some more details once I've given it more though.

@PeteE Thank you for this issue! In the mean time, if you don't want to see completed cronjobs you can set successfulJobsHistoryLimit=0 in your cronjob spec. Default is set to 3.

Would persisting filters and sorting into views be a nice generic solution for this? I type /Running and shift-c all the time.

I upvote this, setting successfulJobsHistoryLimit=0 is not a solution, I might still need the pods to still be in Kubernetes, I just need the ability from K9S to optional filter out the Completed pods when I am sure they're just noise.

What I do now is sort by state, and invert the sorting, which "works". But sometimes I want to sort by Age, and still hide Completed Pods.

I'm not yet one but having this as Alpha feature could persuade me to a license.

The 2 x shift-s workaround is indeed nice btw :) but when also interacting with regular pods (terminated, etc.) then they "jump" around (obviously).

I figure having them filtered out in the Pods view makes sense but still leave them accessible when going to CronJob -> selecting a job -> still seeing them in Jobs

I would also totally like this feature.

A workaround I am using lately is by filtering out completed pods with the search query /!Completed. By using the k9s HotKeys feature we can put this into hotkeys.yaml:

hotKeys:
  shift-v:
    shortCut:    Shift-V
    description: Filter out completed pods
    command:     pods /!Completed
    keepHistory: true

Now, in the pods list, just press Shift-V and the completed pods are gone.
