In this section we will deep dive into JSONPath from the beginners perspective and see how you can write advanced kubectl commands using JSONPATH

Return result in json format by api-server

kubectl get nodes -o json

Return result in yaml format by api-server

kubectl get nodes -o yaml

Sample of jsonpath:

root@sinaops:~# kubectl get nodes -o=jsonpath='{.items[*].status.nodeInfo.osImage}{"\n"}'
Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS Ubuntu 22.04.4 LTS

With custom column:

root@sinaops:~# kubectl get nodes -o='custom-columns=OsType:{.status.nodeInfo.osImage},KubeletVersion:{.status.nodeInfo.kubeletVersion}'
OsType               KubeletVersion
Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS   v1.30.4
Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS   v1.30.0
Ubuntu 22.04.4 LTS   v1.30.4

With custom column and statement:

root@sinaops:~# kubectl get nodes -o=custom-columns='Host:{.status.addresses[?(@.type=="Hostname")].address},OsType:{.status.nodeInfo.osImage}'
Host         OsType
