Summarize Container Restarts by Deployment

Problem / use case

You want to track Kubernetes container stability by calculating restart counts per deployment. This helps spot unhealthy pods or unstable deployments using percentiles and max values.

Query

source logs
| choose resource.attributes.k8s_container_restart_count as restarts, 
    resource.attributes.k8s_deployment_name as deployment
| filter restarts > 0
| groupby deployment agg
    round(percentile(0.5, restarts), 2) as p50_restarts,
    round(percentile(0.9, restarts), 2) as p90_restarts,
    round(max(restarts), 0) as max_restarts
| orderby max_restarts desc

Expected output

A sorted table showing deployments with the highest container restart counts:

deployment	p50_restarts	p90_restarts	max_restarts
cartservice	231.9	233	235
recommendationservice	32	32.52	33
loadgenerator	24	24	25
k8s-watcher	4	5	5
otelcollector	4	4	4
emailservice	4	4	4

Previous Count k8s container restarts
