How do I get the pod ID in Kubernetes?

I am using Stackdriver Monitoring API to get the metrics related to the containers. The JSON object returned from the API has the following details of the container.

Example:

{
      "metric": {
        "type": "container.googleapis.com/container/cpu/utilization"
      },
      "resource": {
        "type": "gke_container",
        "labels": {
          "zone": "us-central1-a",
          "pod_id": "1138528c-c36e-11e9-a1a7-42010a800198",
          "project_id": "auto-scaling-springboot",
          "cluster_name": "load-test",
          "container_name": "",
          "namespace_id": "f0965889-c36d-11e9-9e00-42010a800198",
          "instance_id": "3962380509873542383"
        }
      },
      "metricKind": "GAUGE",
      "valueType": "DOUBLE",
      "points": [
        {
          "interval": {
            "startTime": "2019-09-04T04:00:00Z",
            "endTime": "2019-09-04T04:00:00Z"
          },
          "value": {
            "doubleValue": 0.050707947222229495
          }
        }
     ]
}

When I execute kubectl describe pod [pod name], I get none of these information unique to a container. Therefore I am unable to identify the results corresponding to a container.

Therfore, how to I get the pod ID so that I'll be able to identify it?

Use kubectl jsonpath

To get a specific pod's UID:

$ kubectl get pods -n <namespace> <pod-name> -o jsonpath='{.metadata.uid}'
$ kubectl get pods -n kube-system kubedb-66f78 -o jsonpath='{.metadata.uid}'

Use kubectl custom-columns

List all PodName along with its UID of a namespace:

$ kubectl get pods -n <namespace> -o custom-columns=PodName:.metadata.name,PodUID:.metadata.uid
$ kubectl get pods -n kube-system -o custom-columns=PodName:.metadata.name,PodUID:.metadata.uid
PodName                                      PodUID

Use Unix/Linux command grep

You can use kubectl get pods along with grep.

$ kubectl get pods -n <namespace> <pod-name> -o yaml | grep uid
uid: bcfbdfb5-ce0f-11e9-b83e-080027d4916d
