Damn, if you took out the “Kubernetes” part, and made it generalized, it looks like you built something that I have wanted to see for a long time. I think log explorers work best as a GUI, and that they need deep integration with structured logs. Basically I just want the DataDog log explorer but locally, and able to simply intake from some files. Some have tried, but they are always too simple, not parsing out properties of structured logs and building good filtering on top of that. I think setting up Grafana/Loki/Whatever is way too heavy for such a simple ask.
Anyway all that is anecdotal, what you made here is really cool!
My personal preference for log tailing is Stern. It doesn't have a web UI but then I've never felt like I needed one.
Wow, this is exactly what I’ve been missing—juggling a dozen kubectl logs windows and still losing context. Seeing all container logs merged in real time is a game-changer for debugging multi-pod workloads. Love that it runs locally against the API—no more sending sensitive logs offsite. Big thanks to the author for saving my sanity here!
I don't use kubernetes but the GUI looks great, I'm looking for something sililar for heroku (currently storing logs in papertrail but haven't found a great way to search through achieved logs, especially locally).
Great demo video btw. Would you mind detailing which software you used to make it? I'd like to do similarly for some of my projects.
"Search" feels like a bit of a stretch to me--that suggests that it plays in the same space as OpenSearch or Splunk. There's no index here that I can tell.
"Filter" sounds more accurate.
This looks awesome --do you cache or store the logs, or is that left up to k8s?
Not to be confused with the other kubetail that also does kube log things.
How does it compare to tools like Loki/Grafana or Stern?
bruh merging logs from all pods at once is something i always wanted, props for finally making this sane
