kubetail: Tail only a specific container from multiple pods.

kubetail

$ kubetail ${my_app} -c ${my_container}

try on your machine

This command kubetail ${my_app} -c ${my_container} is used to tail the logs of a specific container running within a Kubernetes pod.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

kubetail: This is the main command. It is typically not a standard Kubernetes command, but rather a wrapper or utility script that allows tailing logs of multiple pods or containers in one go. It needs to be installed separately.
${my_app}: This is a placeholder for a variable that should be replaced with the name of your desired Kubernetes app or pod. The value of this variable should be the name of the app or pod you want to tail.
-c ${my_container}: This part specifies the container within the pod whose logs you want to follow. The ${my_container} is another placeholder for a variable and should be replaced with the actual container name that you want to tail logs for.

So, the command as a whole logs into the specified Kubernetes app/pod and tail the logs for a particular container within that pod.
