kcompass v1.3.2

About

Compass helps you pinpoint your errors by asking simple (Y/N) questions. It helps execute kubectl debugging commands at every step to increase visibility. Questions start at the Pod level and and end at the Ingress level or until error is isolated.

Compass is meant to be a helpful checklist and not a monitoring/logging framework. It doesn’t fix your specific Pod issues (though I wish), it just outputs more expressive error messages than “CrashLoopBackOff”.
