Kubectl Pod logs
There are a few useful options when getting logs from your Kubernetes pods:
- tailing
- showing the last x number of lines
- combining options
tailing
This will tail and follow the pod’s logs
kubectl -f <pod_name>
Showing the last X number of lines
When a pod has been running for a while, the logs can be very long. You probably only want to see the last few lines.
kubectl --tail=10 <pod_name>
Combining options
You can combine the follow and last x number of lines options
kubectl -f --tail=10 <pod_name>
