Synopsis

kosli snapshot k8s ENVIRONMENT-NAME [flags]
Report a snapshot of running pods in a K8S cluster or namespace(s) to Kosli.
Skip --namespaces and --namespaces-regex to report all pods in all namespaces in a cluster. The reported data includes pod container images digests and creation timestamps. You can customize the scope of reporting to include or exclude namespaces.
