kubectl-logs: Show logs for a single-container pod.
$ kubectl logs ${pod_name}
try on your machine
The command "kubectl logs ${pod_name}" is used to retrieve the logs of a specific pod in a Kubernetes cluster.
Here's a breakdown of the command:
- "kubectl" is the command-line tool for interacting with Kubernetes clusters.
- "logs" is the subcommand used to retrieve logs.
- "${pod_name}" is a placeholder for the actual name of the pod whose logs you want to access. You need to replace "${pod_name}" with the name of the pod you want to retrieve logs from.
When you run this command, it connects to the Kubernetes cluster using your configured credentials and retrieves the logs of the specified pod. The logs typically contain information about the actions, events, and errors that have occurred in the pod, which can be useful for troubleshooting and debugging purposes.
