lookout cloud ipspace

Pod/Service/node CIDR utilization per subnet, judged: warning at 80%, critical at 95% — IP space is incompressible, an exhausted range fails the next node or pod block outright. Consumption rate/ETA lives in the sentinel’s capacity source.

MCP tool: k8s_cloud_ipspace

Terminal window
lookout cloud ipspace [flags]
FlagTypeDefaultMeaning
--allbool—exploratory dump: emit every range regardless of utilization (info severity below 80%), sorted by pct descending
FlagTypeDefaultMeaning
--namespacestring—limit the scan to one namespace
-Abool—scan all namespaces
--workloadstring—target one workload as <Kind>/<namespace>/<name>, e.g. Deployment/prod/api
--sinceduration—how far back to look (0 = command default)
--formatstringlogfmtoutput format: logfmt|json (one record per line either way)
--timeoutduration10sabort the invocation after this long (exit 1)
--kubeconfigstring—path to a kubeconfig file, instead of $KUBECONFIG / ~/.kube/config
--contextstring—kubeconfig context to read, instead of its current-context. Selects a cluster for THIS invocation only — nothing is written back — so concurrent invocations can target different clusters. Reported as context=<name> in the summary line
--exemptionsstring—path to a git-reviewed exemption file (YAML); covered findings are ANNOTATED with their reason and expiry and counted as exempt=<n> in the summary, never dropped

Every kind= this command can emit, and the severities it carries them at. Nothing else appears in its output; a kind absent from a run means the check looked and found nothing. See the finding-kind glossary for the whole vocabulary.

FieldMeaning
cidrthe range’s CIDR block
purposewhat the range allocates: pods, services, or nodes
usedallocated addresses (for GKE pod ranges: addresses of the per-node blocks already carved out — the granularity at which the range actually exhausts)
capacityusable addresses in the range
pctused as a percent of capacity, one decimal
capabilitycloud.unavailable: the provider capability this command needed (ipspace)
providercloud.unavailable: the provider that was asked
unavailablesummary-line note: why the cloud read could not be served

Output: one finding per line (logfmt; —format=json for one JSON object per line), keys in fixed order; healthy resources emit nothing. The final line is always the summary: scanned= findings= elapsed= — findings=0 with a summary present means “scanned and healthy”; a stream without a summary line is void. Exit 0 data, 1 runtime error (diagnostics on stderr only), 2 usage.
