Edge Delta Kubernetes Event Source

Overview

You can use the Kubernetes Event Source node to ingest Kubernetes events from the cluster when there is a state change in a cluster resource. If there is more than one agent in the cluster, a leader election process selects an agent to collect all the events. Events have the item.type=event attribute. If you connect the Kubernetes Event Source node to the ed_archive_output node, the events are searchable using the Search tab on the Logs page with the search string: @item.type:event.
