List Pods for a Project

oc get projects

oc get -n <project-name> pods

List Pods on Nodes

oadm manage-node <node-name> --list-pods

Pod Status

The most complete information set is generated by "oc get -o yaml pod ..." and "oc describe pod ...":

oc [-n <project-name>] [[oc get#pods|get pods]
oc [-n <project-name>] -o yaml get pod] <pod-name>
oc [-n <project-name>] describe pod <pod-name>
oc [-n <project-name>] describe pod/<pod-name>
oc [-n <project-name>] edit pod/<pod-name>

Monitor Pod's Logs

oc logs -f <pod-name>

Execute Commands in Containers

oc rsh <pod-id> <command>

Stopping Pods

A pod can be stopped by deleting its associated "pod" object:

oc delete pod/logging-fluentd-3kz30

The controller (either replication or DamonSet) will detect that the pod is missing and it will start a new one.

Evacuate Pods from Node

https://docs.openshift.com/container-platform/latest/admin_guide/manage_nodes.html#evacuating-pods-on-nodes

Only pods backed by replication controllers can be evacuated. The "bare" pods cannot be evacuated.

Mark the node as unschedulable:

oadm manage-node <node-name> --evacuate --dry-run [--pod-selector=<pod_selector>]
