# diagnostics

# `prefect_kubernetes.diagnostics`

Kubernetes pod failure diagnostics.

Pattern-matches pod status into structured failure diagnoses with
actionable resolution hints. Designed to consume the kopf `status`
parameter directly — no extra K8s API calls required.

## Functions

### `diagnose_k8s_pod` <sup><a href="https://github.com/PrefectHQ/prefect/blob/main/src/integrations/prefect-kubernetes/prefect_kubernetes/diagnostics.py#L33" target="_blank"><Icon icon="github" style="width: 14px; height: 14px;" /></a></sup>

```python  theme={null}
diagnose_k8s_pod(status: dict[str, Any]) -> InfrastructureDiagnosis | None
```

Inspect a pod's `status` dict and return a diagnosis for known failure conditions.

Returns `None` when the pod is healthy or in a state that does not
require user intervention.

**Args:**

* `status`: The `status` field from a Kubernetes pod object (the
  same dict kopf passes as the *status* parameter).
