Meaning #

Job failed complete.

Failure of processing of a scheduled task.

Diagnosis #

• Check job via kubectl -n $NAMESPACE describe jobs $JOB.
• Check pod events via kubectl -n $NAMESPACE describe pod $POD_FROM_JOB.
• Check pod logs via kubectl -n $NAMESPACE log pod $POD_FROM_JOB.

Mitigation #

• See Debugging Pods

• See Job patterns

• redesign job so that it is idempotent (can be re-run many times which will always produce the same output even if input differes)

• clean up failed jobs, e.g. using kubectl:

  kubectl -n $NAMESPACE delete job --field-selector status.successful!=1
