Real-time logging tool for Kubernetes

Kubetail is a general-purpose logging tool for Kubernetes, optimized for tailing logs across multi-container workloads in real-time. With Kubetail, you can view logs from all the containers in a workload merged into a single, chronological timeline, delivered to your terminal or browser. Kubetail read files on-disk and doesn't ship data to an external cloud service so your data stays private from end-to-end.

After installing Kubetail, start the web dashboard using the serve subcommand:

kubetail serve

This command will open http://localhost:7500/ in your default browser. You can also tail logs in your terminal:

kubetail logs -f deploy/app

Have fun tailing your logs!
