This page is designed to help you use logs to troubleshoot issues with your Kubernetes solution.

Logging by Kubernetes Components

Kubernetes components, such as kubelet and apiserver, use the glog logging library. Developer conventions for logging severity are described in docs/devel/logging.md.

Examining the logs of running containers

The logs of a running container may be fetched using the command kubectl logs. For example, given this pod specification counter-pod.yaml, which has a container which writes out some text to standard output every second. (You can find different pod specifications here.)

counter-pod.yaml
apiVersion: v1
kind: Pod
metadata:
  name: counter
spec:
  containers:
  - name: count
    image: ubuntu:14.04
    args: [bash, -c, 
           'for ((i = 0; ; i++)); do echo "$i: $(date)"; sleep 1; done']

we can run the pod:

$ kubectl create -f ./counter-pod.yaml
pods/counter

and then fetch the logs:

$ kubectl logs counter
0: Tue Jun  2 21:37:31 UTC 2015
1: Tue Jun  2 21:37:32 UTC 2015
2: Tue Jun  2 21:37:33 UTC 2015
3: Tue Jun  2 21:37:34 UTC 2015
4: Tue Jun  2 21:37:35 UTC 2015
5: Tue Jun  2 21:37:36 UTC 2015
...

If a pod has more than one container then you need to specify which container’s log files should be fetched e.g.

$ kubectl logs kube-dns-v3-7r1l9 etcd

Cluster level logging to Google Cloud Logging

The getting started guide Cluster Level Logging to Google Cloud Logging explains how container logs are ingested into Google Cloud Logging and shows how to query the ingested logs.

Cluster level logging with Elasticsearch and Kibana

The getting started guide Cluster Level Logging with Elasticsearch and Kibana describes how to ingest cluster level logs into Elasticsearch and view them using Kibana.

Ingesting Application Log Files

Cluster level logging only collects the standard output and standard error output of the applications running in containers. The guide Collecting log files from within containers with Fluentd and sending them to the Google Cloud Logging service explains how the log files of applications can also be ingested into Google Cloud logging.

Known issues

Kubernetes does log rotation for Kubernetes components and docker containers. The command kubectl logs currently only read the latest logs, not all historical ones.
