kubectl-logs: Stream logs for a specified container in a pod.

kubectl

$ kubectl logs --follow --container ${container_name} ${pod_name}

try on your machine

The command "kubectl logs" is used to retrieve the logs of a specific container within a Kubernetes pod.

Here is the breakdown of the provided command:

"kubectl logs": This is the main command to retrieve logs.
"--follow": This flag allows you to continuously stream the logs as they are generated, similar to the "tail -f" command.
"--container ${container_name}": This option specifies the name of the container whose logs you want to retrieve. Replace "${container_name}" with the actual name of the container.
"${pod_name}": This is the name of the pod that contains the container whose logs you want to retrieve. Replace "${pod_name}" with the actual name of the pod.

By running this command, you will get the logs of the specified container in the given pod, and the output will be continuously streamed to your terminal if the "--follow" flag is provided.
