Kubetail

Kubetail is a universal logging dashboard for Kubernetes, optimized for real-time log tracking across multi-container workloads. With Kubetail, you can view logs from all containers within a workload (such as a Deployment or DaemonSet), merged into a single chronological timeline and streamed to your browser or terminal. The primary entry point for Kubetail is the Kubetail CLI tool, which can launch a local web dashboard on your desktop or stream raw logs directly to the terminal. Under the hood, Kubetail uses the cluster's Kubernetes API to fetch logs directly from the cluster, so it works out of the box without needing to forward logs to an external service first. Kubetail also leverages the Kubernetes API to track container lifecycle events, ensuring the log timeline stays synchronized as containers start, stop, or are replaced. This makes it effortless to seamlessly follow logs when users need to move from one ephemeral container to another across services. Features: - Clean, user-friendly interface - Real-time log viewing - Filter logs by: - Workload (e.g., Deployment, CronJob, StatefulSet) - Absolute or relative time ranges - Node attributes (e.g., availability zone, CPU architecture, node ID) - Grep - Retrieves log messages using the Kubernetes API, so data never leaves your control (private by default) - Web dashboard can be installed on the desktop or in-cluster - Switch between multiple clusters (desktop only)

Kubetail is a universal log dashboard for Kubernetes, designed to track logs from multi-container workloads in real time. It consolidates logs from all containers within a workload into a single, chronologically ordered timeline, which can be displayed in a browser or terminal.
