Understand how to analyze logs both on nodes and pods.
We'll cover the following...
Log analysis provides a real-time window into the behavior of applications and infrastructure. By examining logs, we can identify errors, anomalies, and performance issues, enabling rapid diagnosis and resolution of problems. Logs offer valuable insights into the interactions between components, aiding in maintaining the health, reliability, and optimal performance of Kubernetes clusters and applications.
Analyzing logs on node level
We can use the describe command to know the current state of the node:
# To get the cluster namekubectl get nodes# To get the state of our node ("kind-control-plane" is the name of our node)kubectl describe node kind-control-plane
Note: Connect to the terminal widget below and use the above commands in their given order.
