As of today, kubectl get pods -a
is deprecated, and as a result you cannot get deleted pods.
What you can do though, is to get a list of recently deleted pod names – up to 1 hour in the past unless you changed the ttl
for kubernetes events – by running:
kubectl get event -o custom-columns=NAME:.metadata.name | cut -d "." -f1
You can then investigate further issues within your logging pipeline if you have one in place.
