Pod Logs
ACTIVATE lets you view container logs for any running pod directly in the web UI, so you can debug and monitor workloads without switching to a terminal.
Viewing Logs
- Go to Kubernetes > Workloads
- Select a cluster and namespace
- Click on a pod name to open its detail page
- Scroll down to the Logs panel
The Logs panel displays the most recent log output from the pod's container in a scrollable viewer.
Pod-Level Only
The Logs panel only appears when viewing an individual pod. For higher-level workloads such as Deployments or StatefulSets, navigate to one of their child pods to access logs.
Log Controls
Tail Lines
By default, ACTIVATE loads the most recent 100 lines of log output. You can request up to 10,000 lines to see more history.
Time-Based Filtering
You can filter logs to only show entries after a specific timestamp. This is useful when you know roughly when an issue occurred and want to skip older output.
Real-Time Streaming
Once logs are loaded, ACTIVATE automatically polls for new lines. New output is appended to the bottom of the viewer as it arrives — you don't need to refresh the page.
Duplicate lines are automatically filtered out, so you'll always see a clean, continuous log stream.
Session Persistence
Logs are accumulated in the browser for the duration of your session. If you navigate away from the pod and return, the log viewer resets and fetches the latest lines again.
