About Kubetail

Kubetail shows logs from Kubernetes containers in real time, either in a web dashboard or in a terminal. It gives you one place to follow logs from a workload instead of running kubectl logs against each container.

It can run on your desktop, inside the cluster, or in Docker, so it works for a developer checking a cluster from a laptop as well as a team that wants a shared dashboard. The project is actively developed.

Strengths

  • Real-time logs in a browser or terminal
  • Runs on the desktop, in a cluster or in Docker
  • Actively developed

Limitations

  • Only works with Kubernetes
  • Focused on logs rather than metrics or tracing
