💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using 'kubectl describe' shows details but not logs.

Using 'kubectl exec' runs commands inside the pod, not logs.

The kubectl logs command shows the logs of a pod, useful for debugging.

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using '--tail' only shows last lines but does not follow.

Using '-n' is for namespace, not for following logs.

The -f flag makes kubectl logs follow the log output live.

4fill in blank

hard

Fill both blanks to get logs from the second container in a pod named 'multi-container-pod'.

Kubernetes

kubectl logs multi-container-pod [1] [2]

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

C--container

Dcontainer-1

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Not specifying container when pod has multiple containers causes error.

Using wrong container name or flag.

Use -c or --container to specify which container's logs to view. Here, container-2 is the second container.

5fill in blank

hard

Fill all three blanks to get the last 100 lines of logs from container 'web' in pod 'frontend' in namespace 'prod'.

Kubernetes

kubectl logs [1] [2] [3] --tail=100

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

A-n prod

B-c web

Cfrontend

D--namespace=dev

Attempts:

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Mixing up namespace or container flags.

Forgetting to specify container when pod has multiple containers.

The command specifies the pod name frontend, container web with -c, and namespace prod with -n. The --tail=100 shows last 100 lines.
