How to get logs from kubernetes using golang?
Here is what we came up with eventually using client-go library:
func getPodLogs(pod corev1.Pod) string {
podLogOpts := corev1.PodLogOptions{}
config, err := rest.InClusterConfig()
if err != nil {
return "error in getting config"
}
// creates the clientset
clientset, err := kubernetes.NewForConfig(config)
if err != nil {
return "error in getting access to K8S"
}
req := clientset.CoreV1().Pods(pod.Namespace).GetLogs(pod.Name, &podLogOpts)
podLogs, err := req.Stream()
if err != nil {
return "error in opening stream"
}
defer podLogs.Close()
buf := new(bytes.Buffer)
_, err = io.Copy(buf, podLogs)
if err != nil {
return "error in copy information from podLogs to buf"
}
str := buf.String()
return str
}
I hope it will help someone. Please share your thoughts or solutions of how you get logs from pods in Kubernetes.
The controller-runtime client library does not yet support subresources other than /status, so you would have to use client-go as shown in the other question.
