PLEASE NOTE: This document applies to the HEAD of the source tree

If you are using a released version of Kubernetes, you should refer to the docs that go with that version.

The latest release of this document can be found [here](http://releases.k8s.io/release-1.1/docs/user-guide/kubectl/kubectl_label.md).

Documentation for other releases can be found at releases.k8s.io.

kubectl label

Update the labels on a resource

Synopsis

Update the labels on a resource.

A label must begin with a letter or number, and may contain letters, numbers, hyphens, dots, and underscores, up to 63 characters. If --overwrite is true, then existing labels can be overwritten, otherwise attempting to overwrite a label will result in an error. If --resource-version is specified, then updates will use this resource version, otherwise the existing resource-version will be used.

kubectl label [--overwrite] (-f FILENAME | TYPE NAME) KEY_1=VAL_1 ... KEY_N=VAL_N [--resource-version=version]

Examples

# Update pod 'foo' with the label 'unhealthy' and the value 'true'.
$ kubectl label pods foo unhealthy=true

# Update pod 'foo' with the label 'status' and the value 'unhealthy', overwriting any existing value.
$ kubectl label --overwrite pods foo status=unhealthy

# Update all pods in the namespace
$ kubectl label pods --all status=unhealthy

# Update a pod identified by the type and name in "pod.json"
$ kubectl label -f pod.json status=unhealthy

# Update pod 'foo' only if the resource is unchanged from version 1.
$ kubectl label pods foo status=unhealthy --resource-version=1

# Update pod 'foo' by removing a label named 'bar' if it exists.
# Does not require the --overwrite flag.
$ kubectl label pods foo bar-

Options

      --all[=false]: select all resources in the namespace of the specified resource types
      --dry-run[=false]: If true, only print the object that would be sent, without sending it.
  -f, --filename=[]: Filename, directory, or URL to a file identifying the resource to update the labels
      --no-headers[=false]: When using the default output, don't print headers.
  -o, --output="": Output format. One of: json|yaml|wide|name|go-template=...|go-template-file=...|jsonpath=...|jsonpath-file=... See golang template [http://golang.org/pkg/text/template/#pkg-overview] and jsonpath template [http://releases.k8s.io/HEAD/docs/user-guide/jsonpath.md].
      --output-version="": Output the formatted object with the given version (default api-version).
      --overwrite[=false]: If true, allow labels to be overwritten, otherwise reject label updates that overwrite existing labels.
      --resource-version="": If non-empty, the labels update will only succeed if this is the current resource-version for the object. Only valid when specifying a single resource.
  -l, --selector="": Selector (label query) to filter on
  -a, --show-all[=false]: When printing, show all resources (default hide terminated pods.)
      --sort-by="": If non-empty, sort list types using this field specification.  The field specification is expressed as a JSONPath expression (e.g. 'ObjectMeta.Name'). The field in the API resource specified by this JSONPath expression must be an integer or a string.
