Log Query
The Log Query feature empowers you to retrieve logs from multiple Pods and their containers. Using regular expressions, selectors, and specified resources, you can precisely define the log retrieval targets. This functionality also allows you to filter logs using regular expressions, providing a powerful and flexible log querying experience.
Usage Example
pod:app container:nginx log:401
When entering ?
or help
in the log query form, the help popup will be displayed.
Supported Queries
Query | Alias | Description |
---|---|---|
pod:<regex> | pods, po, p | Include Pods that match the regular expression in log retrieval target. |
!pod:<regex> | !pods, !po, !p | Exclude Pods that match the regular expression from log retrieval target. Can be defined multiple times. |
container:<regex> | containers, co, c | Include containers that match the regular expression in log retrieval target. |
!container:<regex> | !containers, !co, !c | Exclude containers that match the regular expression from log retrieval target. Can be defined multiple times. |
log:<regex> | logs, lo, l | Retrieve logs that match the regular expression. Can be defined multiple times. |
