Send kubectl

Note: Useful documentation for the kubectl CLI, including a kubectl cheat sheet can be found on the kubernetes website.

The “Send kubectl” form has three fields:

CorrelationId: Any alphanumeric text string specified by the user in order to match the resulting Event message to the originating Action.
Command: Must be “kubectl”.
Arguments: Takes an array of strings based on the command line arguments for a kubectl command. This array can be entered using JSON notation.

Note: It is important that each argument is put in a new array entry. If there is a space in the complete command, then that means a new argument.

Useful kubectl commands translated into “Command” and “Arguments” parts:
