## Prerequisites
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This guide assumes that you have a running Kubernetes Cluster
|
|
|
|
|
Federation installation. If not, then head over to the
|
|
|
|
|
[federation admin guide](/docs/admin/federation/) to learn how to
|
|
|
|
|
bring up a cluster federation (or have your cluster administrator do
|
|
|
|
|
this for you). Other tutorials, for example
|
|
|
|
|
[this one](https://github.com/kelseyhightower/kubernetes-cluster-federation)
|
|
|
|
|
by Kelsey Hightower, are also available to help you.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You are also expected to have a basic
|
|
|
|
|
[working knowledge of Kubernetes](/docs/getting-started-guides/) in
|
|
|
|
|
general.
|
|
|

## Overview
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Events in federation control plane (referred to as "federation events" in
|
|
|
|
|
this guide) are very similar to the traditional Kubernetes
|
|
|
|
|
Events providing the same functionality.
|
|
|
|
|
Federation Events are stored only in federation control plane and are not passed on to the underlying Kubernetes clusters.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Federation controllers create events as they process API resources to surface to the
|
|
|
|
|
user, the state that they are in.
|
|
|
|
|
You can get all events from federation apiserver by running:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
|
|
|
kubectl --context=federation-cluster get events
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The standard kubectl get, update, delete commands will all work.
