podman-pod-logs - Man Page

Display logs for pod with one or more containers

Description

The podman pod logs command batch-retrieves whatever logs are present with all the containers of a pod. Pod logs can be filtered by container name or ID using flag -c or --container if needed.

Note: A long-running podman pod log command with a -f or --follow option needs to be reinvoked if a new container is added to the pod dynamically; otherwise, logs of newly added containers are not visible in the log stream.

Options

--color

Output the containers with different colors in the log.

--container, -c

By default, podman pod logs retrieves logs for all the containers available within the pod, differentiated by the field container. However, there are use cases where the user wants to limit the log stream only to a particular container of a pod. For such cases, -c can be used like podman pod logs -c ctrNameorID podname.

--follow, -f

Follow log output. Default is false.

Note: When following a pod which is removed by podman pod rm or removed on exit (podman run --rm ...), there is a chance that the log file is removed before podman pod logs reads the final content.

--latest, -l

Instead of providing the pod name or ID, use the last created pod. Note: the last started pod can be from other users of Podman on the host machine. (This option is not available with the remote Podman client, including Mac and Windows (excluding WSL2) machines)

--names, -n

Output the container names instead of the container IDs in the log.

--since=TIMESTAMP

Show logs since TIMESTAMP. The --since option can be Unix timestamps, date formatted timestamps, or Go duration strings (e.g. 10m, 1h30m) computed relative to the client machine's time. Supported formats for date formatted time stamps include RFC3339Nano, RFC3339, 2006-01-02T15:04:05, 2006-01-02T15:04:05.999999999, 2006-01-02Z07:00, and 2006-01-02.

--tail=LINES

Output the specified number of LINES at the end of the logs. LINES must be an integer. Defaults to -1, which prints all lines

--timestamps, -t

Show timestamps in the log outputs. The default is false

--until=TIMESTAMP

Show logs until TIMESTAMP. The --until option can be Unix timestamps, date formatted timestamps, or Go duration strings (e.g. 10m, 1h30m) computed relative to the client machine's time. Supported formats for date formatted time stamps include RFC3339Nano, RFC3339, 2006-01-02T15:04:05, 2006-01-02T15:04:05.999999999, 2006-01-02Z07:00, and 2006-01-02.

Example

To view a pod's logs:

podman pod logs -t podIdorName

To view logs of a specific container on the pod:

podman pod logs -c ctrIdOrName podIdOrName

To view all pod logs:

podman pod logs -t --since 0 myserver-pod-1

To view a pod's logs since a certain time:

podman pod logs -t --since 2017-08-07T10:10:09.055837383-04:00 myserver-pod-1

To view a pod's logs generated in the last 10 minutes:

podman pod logs --since 10m myserver-pod-1

To view a pod's logs until 30 minutes ago:

podman pod logs --until 30m myserver-pod-1
