This document describes pod events in Alibaba Cloud Container Service (ACS), which include custom events (pod-related, resource, and system maintenance) and scheduling and management events for GPU pods, including those with high-performance networking.
View custom events
Event Center
-
Log on to the ACS console. In the left navigation pane, click Clusters.
-
On the Clusters page, click the name of the target cluster. In the left navigation pane, choose Operations > Event Center.
-
Click the Events tab and filter events by criteria such as Level, Namespace, and Name.

-
In the upper-right corner, click View Historical Data in Event Center to view historical events from Log Service (SLS).
This feature requires the alibaba-log-controller and kube-eventer add-ons. You can install them from the Add-ons page.

-
The following is an example of an OOMKilled event:
{ "eventId": { "metadata": {}, "involvedObject": { "kind": "Pod", "namespace": "default", "name": "helloworld-go-**********-*****", "uid": "*****", "apiVersion": "v1" }, "reason": "OOMKilled", "message": "invoked", "source": { "component": "AcsService" }, "firstTimestamp": "2025-**-**T02:33:49Z", "lastTimestamp": "2025-**-**T02:33:49Z", "count": 1, "type": "Warning", "eventTime": null, "reportingComponent": "", "reportingInstance": "" }, "hostname": "", "level": "Warning", "pod_id": "*****", "pod_name": "helloworld-go-**********-*****", "clusterName": "*****", "clusterId": "*****7ec556cb4680a3a1e71201a*****" } -
The
eventIdobject contains the following key fields:-
involvedObject: The resource object associated with the event. It includes the Kubernetes API version (apiVersion), resource type (kind), resource name (name), the resource's namespace (namespace), and the resource ID (uid). -
message: The message of the event. For example,Out of memory. -
reason: The reason for the event. For example,OOMKilled. -
type: The type of the event. The value can beNormalorWarning.
