Kubetail

Wow, this is exactly what I’ve been missing—juggling a dozen kubectl logs windows and still losing context. Seeing all container logs merged in real time is a game-changer for…

bruh merging logs from all pods at once is something i always wanted, props for finally making this sane

I’ve been using Kubetail since the early days it was released in my homelab Kubernetes cluster. It’s fantastic and incredibly easy to setup and configure (unlike Loki + Grapha or…

Kubetail is more lightweight than Loki/Grafana. It fetches logs using the Kubernetes API which means you can only see the current state of the cluster but you can use it without…

+1 for Stern especially since it only has Go dependencies whereas Kubetail does not. Ease of integration with an existing stack is a bigger addition than the lack of a web UI is…

I was about to comment about Stern. It's an established well known OSS project - I wonder if the author knew about it, and if so.. what was his inspiration for creating an almost…

My personal preference for log tailing is Stern. It doesn't have a web UI but then I've never felt like I needed one. https://github.com/stern/stern

"Search" feels like a bit of a stretch to me--that suggests that it plays in the same space as OpenSearch or Splunk. There's no index here that I can tell. "Filter" sounds more…

Yes, there's no index. It uses grep (powered by ripgrep) under the hood.

Not to be confused with the other kubetail that also does kube log things. https://github.com/johanhaleby/kubetail

A good starting point would be to not take over the name of an existing product.

Damn, if you took out the “Kubernetes” part, and made it generalized, it looks like you built something that I have wanted to see for a long time. I think log explorers work best…

I’ve tried it, but it didn’t seem to have enough structure log support, so I gave up. I just want a way to say “this is a jsonl stream” and have it do the right thing, which is…

I don't use kubernetes but the GUI looks great, I'm looking for something sililar for heroku (currently storing logs in papertrail but haven't found a great way to search through…

Presumably I can install this (the web frontend) into k8s itself. Is there a helm chart or kustomize? Would be really cool to install it into k8s and just hit a hosted web…

How does it compare to tools like Loki/Grafana or Stern?

This looks awesome --do you cache or store the logs, or is that left up to k8s?

If you don't know about argocd, try it out! It also shows you the logs of containers. Otherwise check out grafana with Loki (kube-stack)

Sorry for bringing up my own side-project on a "Show HN", but I'm making humanlog.io which does exactly what you want. Local-first log query engine (and tracing too, soon). You…

Look into https://logdy.dev . I've played around with it a little bit, but really putting some work into learning it and integrating it with OTEL traces is my next side project.…
