Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Cause: The pods details page did not include conditions. Consequence: Without the conditions, it is hard to know the status of the pod. Fix: Add the conditions section to the pod details page. Result: It is easier to discern the status of the pod now that conditions are included.

Description Clayton Coleman 2020-02-19 19:03:07 UTC
A pod that can't be scheduled is in phase Pending with conditions:

  phase: Pending
  conditions:
    - type: PodScheduled
      status: 'False'
      lastProbeTime: null
      lastTransitionTime: '2020-02-19T18:46:05Z'
      reason: Unschedulable
      message: >-
        0/6 nodes are available: 1 Insufficient cpu, 5 node(s) didn't match node
        selector.

The condition, reason, and message are all important for users to know, but the Pod details and Container details pages show nothing for the conditions.

The conditions should be shown, and the "pending" at the top of the page and in the pod status should indicate that the pod isn't schedulable.  This is a not-uncommon scenario and the current UI flow makes it extremely hard to know what to do (I had to look at pod YAML)

Adding the Conditions section to the bottom of the pod details page is trivial.  I assume we want this for all pods regardless of status?

This is similar to the request to have the timestamp by the status in the header.  I'm unable to locate where this request was made.  I know sgoodwin was looking in to it...

For CSVs we display "Status Reason" (with status.condition.message as a value) underneath "Status" in the CSV Details section.  Do we want to do something similar here?

Comment 6 Yanping Zhang 2020-02-28 10:18:05 UTC
Checked on OCP 4.5 with payload 4.5.0-0.ci-2020-02-28-043432.
Create pod that could not be scheduled successfully, check the conditions info on pod detail page, it shows Reason: "Unschedulable" and Message: "error while running "VolumeBinding" filter plugin for pod "example-0": pod has unbound immediate PersistentVolumeClaims".
The bug is fixed, so move it to Verified.
