How to view pod logs in Kubernetes?

To view the logs of a Pod in Kubernetes, you can use the following command:

1. Utilize the kubectl logs command:

kubectl logs <pod-name>

This will display the logs of the container associated with the specified Pod. If there is only one container in the Pod, the container name does not need to be specified. If there are multiple containers in the Pod, the container name must be specified using the “-c” parameter.

kubectl logs <pod-name> -c <container-name>

1. Use the kubectl log command to redirect the log output to a file.

kubectl log <pod-name> > log.txt

This will redirect the log output of the specified Pod to the log.txt file.

1. View real-time logs using the kubectl log command and tail command.

kubectl log -f <pod-name>

This will allow viewing the logs of a specified Pod in real-time.

1. Use the kubectl describe command to view the events and logs of a Pod.

kubectl describe pod <pod-name>

This will display the events and logs associated with the specified Pod.

These are some common methods to view logs of Pods in Kubernetes. Depending on specific needs, one can choose a method that suits them to view the logs.
