kubectl get events only for a pod

You can use the event command of kubectl.

To filter for a specific pod you can use a field-selector:

kubectl get event --namespace abc-namespace --field-selector involvedObject.name=my-pod-zl6m6

To see what fields are possible you can use kubectl describe on any event.

This answer gives context to @mszalbach's's answer.

1. You should first understand the data structure of the events object. You can use kubectl get events --output json to check the data structure.

   $ kubectl get events --output json
   {
       "apiVersion": "v1",
       "items": [
           {
               "apiVersion": "v1",
               "count": 259,
               "eventTime": null,
               "firstTimestamp": "2020-04-15T12:00:46Z",
               "involvedObject": {                 <------ **this**
                   "apiVersion": "v1",
                   "fieldPath": "spec.containers{liveness}",
                   "kind": "Pod",               
                   "name": "liveness-exec",        <------ **this**
                   "namespace": "default",
                   "resourceVersion": "725991",
                   "uid": "3f497636-e601-48bc-aec8-72b3edec3d95"
               },
               ...
   

2. Then, you can do something like this

   kubectl get events --field-selector involvedObject.name=[...]`.
