columbo is a read-only Kubernetes CLI that finds pods that are likely forgotten or abandoned. Instead of guessing, it calculates a suspicion score - the higher the score, the more likely the pod is unused, manually created, or left behind.

Features

  • Suspicion scoring — each pod is scored against 9 independent signals.
  • Explainable results — shows exactly which signals fired and why.
  • Pre-scoring filters — DaemonSet and StatefulSet pods are always skipped.
  • Read-only — columbo never modifies or deletes anything in the cluster.
