kubectl-logs: Show logs for a specified container in a pod.
$ kubectl logs --container ${container_name} ${pod_name}
try on your machine
The command kubectl logs --container ${container_name} ${pod_name}
is used with Kubernetes to fetch and display the logs of a specific container within a specific pod.
Here's a breakdown of the command:
kubectl logs
: This is the primary command for retrieving logs from Kubernetes pods.--container ${container_name}
: This flag is used to specify the name of the container for which you want to retrieve the logs. Replace${container_name}
with the actual name of the container.${pod_name}
: This is the name of the pod from which you want to retrieve the logs. Replace${pod_name}
with the actual name of the pod you're interested in.
When you execute this command, Kubernetes will look for the specified pod and container, and then retrieve and display their logs in the terminal or command prompt. The logs can provide valuable information about the running application, such as error messages, debugging information, or any custom log statements that the application has generated.
