kubetail: To tail multiple containers from multiple pods.
$ kubetail ${my_app} -c ${my_container_1} -c ${my_container_2}
try on your machine

The command kubetail is a tool used to stream logs from multiple containers of a Kubernetes pod. In this specific command:

  • ${my_app} is a placeholder for the name of the Kubernetes pod. Replace it with the actual name of your pod.
  • -c ${my_container_1} is an argument that specifies the first container within the pod from which you want to stream the logs. Replace ${my_container_1} with the name of the container you want to stream logs from.
  • -c ${my_container_2} is an additional argument that specifies the second container within the pod from which you want to stream the logs. Replace ${my_container_2} with the name of the second container you want to include in the log streaming.

By using this command, you will be able to tail the logs of multiple containers within a single Kubernetes pod concurrently.
