Accessing a Container
=====================

Scenario
--------

If you encounter unexpected problems when using a container, you can log in to the container for debugging.

Logging In to a Container Using kubectl
---------------------------------------

#. Use kubectl to connect to the cluster. For details, see :ref:`Connecting to a Cluster Using kubectl <cce_10_0107>`.

#. Run the following command to view the created pod:

   .. code-block::

      kubectl get pod

   The example output is as follows:

   .. code-block::

      NAME                               READY   STATUS    RESTARTS       AGE
      nginx-59d89cb66f-mhljr             1/1     Running   0              11m

#. Query the name of the container in the pod.

   .. code-block::

      kubectl get po nginx-59d89cb66f-mhljr -o jsonpath='{range .spec.containers[*]}{.name}{end}{"\n"}'

   The example output is as follows:

   .. code-block::

      container-1

#. Run the following command to log in to the container named **container-1** in **nginx-59d89cb66f-mhljrPod**:

   .. code-block::

      kubectl exec -it nginx-59d89cb66f-mhljr -c container-1 -- /bin/sh

#. To exit the container, run the **exit** command.
