# daemonset

The describe daemonset command retrieves detailed information about a specific DaemonSet in the Kubernetes cluster. This includes metadata, pod scheduling, update strategy, rollout history, and associated pods running on each node.

## Usage

```
cldkctl describe daemonset [name] [flags]
```

## Steps

Follow the steps below to run and view the result of this command:

1. Run the following command in your terminal:

```
./cldkctl describe daemonset [name] 
```

2. Replace `[name]` with the DaemonSet name you want to inspect.
3. To view the resource name, refer to the corresponding get daemonset section.
4. If the resource is located in a non-default namespace, include the `-n` or `--namespace` flag followed by the namespace name.

```
./cldkctl describe [resource] [name] -n [namespace]
```

5. Once completed successfully, the detailed information about the specified DaemonSet will appear in your terminal. The output includes metadata, labels, container specifications, resource configurations, update strategy, and rollout status.
