Explore Container Logs
Objective
Uncover the secrets held within the logs of containers, shedding light on the activities and events transpiring within the walls of the Openshift citadel.
Prerequisites
To embark on this journey of exploration and revelation, you'll need:
- Access to an Openshift cluster or a terminal emulator connected to one.
- Basic familiarity with command-line interfaces (CLI) and Kubernetes concepts.
Introduction
As we delve into the depths of the Openshift citadel, we turn our attention to the archives of container logs. Here, amidst the echoes of past events, lies a wealth of information waiting to be discovered and deciphered.
Container Logs
The logs of a container, akin to the chronicles of history, provide insights into the activities and events within. To retrieve these logs, adventurers employ the following command with various options:
--l or --selector='': Filters objects based on label key:value constraint.
- --tail=: Specifies the number of lines of logs to display.
- -c or --container=: Useful when multiple containers exist in a pod.
- -f or --follow=: Streams logs for a container.
- -p or --previous=true: Prints logs for a previous container instance in the pod, if available.
Attach to Pods
For a more immersive experience, the attach command allows adventurers to connect to and start an interactive session on a running container within a pod:
