Tail multiple pods and containers from Kubernetes
Usage:
stern pod-query [flags]
Flags:
-A, --all-namespaces If present, tail across all namespaces. A specific namespace is ignored even if specified with --namespace.
--burst int Maximum burst for throttle to the Kubernetes API server. Defaults to 0 (use client-go default). Ignored when --qps=-1.
--color string Force set color output. 'auto': colorize if tty attached, 'always': always colorize, 'never': never colorize. (default "auto")
--completion string Output stern command-line completion code for the specified shell. Can be 'bash', 'zsh' or 'fish'.
--condition string The condition to filter on: [condition-name[=condition-value]. The default condition-value is true. Match is case-insensitive. Currently only supported with --tail=0 or --no-follow.
--config string Path to the stern config file (default "~/.config/stern/config.yaml")
-c, --container string Container name when multiple containers in pod. (regular expression) (default ".*")
--container-colors strings Specifies the colors used to highlight container names. Use the same format as --pod-colors. Defaults to the values of --pod-colors if omitted, and must match its length.
--container-state strings Tail containers with state in running, waiting, terminated, or all. 'all' matches all container states. To specify multiple states, repeat this or set comma-separated value. (default [all])
--context string The name of the kubeconfig context to use
-d, --diff-container Display different colors for different containers.
--ephemeral-containers Include or exclude ephemeral containers. (default true)
-e, --exclude stringArray Log lines to exclude. (regular expression)
-E, --exclude-container stringArray Container name to exclude when multiple containers in pod. (regular expression)
--exclude-pod stringArray Pod name to exclude. (regular expression)
--field-selector string Selector (field query) to filter on. If present, default to ".*" for the pod-query.
-h, --help help for stern
-H, --highlight stringArray Log lines to highlight. (regular expression)
-i, --include stringArray Log lines to include. (regular expression)
--init-containers Include or exclude init containers. (default true)
--kubeconfig string Path to the kubeconfig file to use for CLI requests.
--max-log-requests int Maximum number of concurrent logs to request. Defaults to 50, but 5 when specifying --no-follow (default -1)
-n, --namespace strings Kubernetes namespace to use. Default to namespace configured in kubernetes context. To specify multiple namespaces, repeat this or set comma-separated value.
--no-follow Exit when all logs have been shown.
--node string Node name to filter on.
--only-log-lines Print only log lines
-o, --output string Specify predefined template. Currently support: [default, raw, json, extjson, ppextjson] (default "default")
--pager string Command to pipe stern's output into (e.g. 'less'). It is used only when the standard output is a terminal, and colors are preserved without specifying --color=always.
--pod-colors strings Specifies the colors used to highlight pod names. Provide colors as a comma-separated list using SGR (Select Graphic Rendition) sequences, e.g., "91,92,93,94,95,96".
-p, --prompt Toggle interactive prompt for selecting 'app.kubernetes.io/instance' label values.
--qps float32 Maximum QPS to the Kubernetes API server. Defaults to 0 (use client-go default). Use -1 to disable client-side throttling.
-l, --selector string Selector (label query) to filter on. If present, default to ".*" for the pod-query.
--show-hidden-options Print a list of hidden options.
-s, --since duration Return logs newer than a relative duration like 5s, 2m, or 3h. (default 48h0m0s)
--stdin Parse logs from stdin. All Kubernetes related flags are ignored when it is set.
--tail int The number of lines from the end of the logs to show. Defaults to -1, showing all logs. (default -1)
--template string Template to use for log lines, leave empty to use --output flag.
-T, --template-file string Path to template to use for log lines, leave empty to use --output flag. It overrides --template option.
-t, --timestamps string[="default"] Print timestamps with the specified format. One of 'default' or 'short' in the form '--timestamps=format' ('=' cannot be omitted). If specified but without value, 'default' is used.
--timezone string Set timestamps to specific timezone. (default "Local")
--verbosity int Number of the log level verbosity
-v, --version Print the version and exit.
Use "stern --show-hidden-options" for a list of hidden command-line options.
