Resource Status

Waypoint tracks the Kubernetes resources created during deployment and can show you their details and health status in the web UI and CLI. This helps show that what Waypoint is doing isn't magic and isn't trying to hide anything, and lets developers and operators more easily debug their deployments when something isn't healthy.

Viewing Resource Status

You may also view the resource status in the CLI. While in your project repository (with a waypoint.hcl file), execute waypoint status. To view detailed status about a specific app, specify the -app flag with the name of the application.

$ waypoint status -app=my-app my-project
Current status for application "my-app" in project "my-project"

» Application Summary
APP             WORKSPACE   DEPLOYMENT STATUS   DEPLOYMENT CHECKED  RELEASE STATUS  RELEASE CHECKED

The application and its resources listed above represents its current state known
in the Waypoint server.

Refreshing Resource Status

When viewing the resource status in the UI or the CLI, Waypoint by default will show you the most recent status report, but this report may be minutes old. You can request a refreshed status report in the CLI by specifying the -refresh flag. Note that this may cause the status operation to take anywhere from a few seconds to a few minutes depending on the size of your deployment and the load on Kubernetes.

$ waypoint status -refresh
