kubectl-logs: Show pod logs newer than a relative time like `10s`, `5m`, or `1h`.
$ kubectl logs --since=${relative_time} ${pod_name}
try on your machine
This command is used with Kubernetes' command-line tool called "kubectl" to view the logs of a specific pod.
Here's what each part of the command does:
- "kubectl logs" is the base command that is used to fetch the logs of a pod.
- "--since=${relative_time}" is an optional flag that specifies the time range for which you want to view the logs. The value of
${relative_time}
should be a relative time value like "5m" (5 minutes), "1h" (1 hour), "1d" (1 day), etc. This flag helps you narrow down the logs to a specific time period. - "${pod_name}" is the name of the pod whose logs you want to view. You need to replace this with the actual name of the pod you're interested in.
So, when you run this command, it fetches the logs of the specified pod, starting from the given relative time until the present moment.
