Feature Request: Add support for deployment / stateful set logs

[atiasdudi]

What would you like to be added?

In Lens you can click and see deployment logs (logs from all pods)

In addition, when you do see the deployment logs, you can select from which container to see (in case you have multiple containers per pod), it would be nice to have that filter as-well

Can this be added?

This would be very useful

There is a community extension that is linked in the documentation which provides this: https://github.com/andrea-falco/freelens-multi-pod-logs

I found it very useful to suit this need 😄

this extension no longer works, any eta for native support?

[robertobandini]

Hi! First of all: thank you all about your interest and requests!

I saw now that this extension is no longer maintained https://github.com/andrea-falco/freelens-multi-pod-logs

There are two options:

1. Anybody can fork that extension to carry on it, and if you want we can also support this including that as an official Freelens extension, I mean with a repo under the freelensapp org here on GitHub.
2. We can include the features inside the core, Freelens

At first sight, my personal opinion is that maybe the option 2 could be the best if the community agree with that this feature is very useful.

Anyone who would like to share their opinion or offer to contribute to this matter should let us know, they are welcome.
If the feature is strongly desired by the community and no one is willing to work on it in their spare time, it is now also possible to create a collective bounty:

Thank you all again!

I do agree. Second option is the way to go. Deployment/stafefulset logs belong to the core Kubernetes experience. And are important to have. Probably in different colors depending on the pod.

As I commented in #1170, the logs really need attention. And being able to copy-paste them properly is for me a bigger priority than deployment logs, but of course part of the same issue. I argue that we need to change the way to render the logs and migrate from virtual lists to xterm. That's a big change. If someone would like to work on it, please do :)

[robertobandini]

@MatiasRoje
I agree, if to improve the way we rendere the logs it's a big change, maybe we can think before to this issue.
I'm also going to check this soon #447

@mariomamo you who had already brought the freelens-node-pod-men extension into core (Freelens), can you take a look at the freelens-multi-pod-logs extensionrepo and give an opinion on the effort?

Thank you all!!

[mariomamo]

Sure, I can take a look

Sure, I can take a look

Hello everyone, is there any news?

[MarcoBernardi]

Hello, it really would be great to have this feature. Any news?

[robertobandini]

I'm taking note about also this issue as an highly sought-after issue and a potential candidate for a bounty, pending the implementation of a dedicated system for this purpose.
Thanks to all of you who are reporting it!

[jjschwarz]

I would be happy to contribute to a bounty on this case if there is a system being used for that. Right now I am stuck between Lens Desktop (which has a major bug they refuse to fix) and FreeLens (just missing this one feature I use a lot in Lens Desktop).

[robertobandini]

Hi @jjschwarz and thank you very much about your interest!

Currently there is the Freelens v2 in progress, then we can also start to work on this.
Meanwhile, I would ask to you all: If the extension that was made worked, would it be enough for you or do you need other features?

Thank you all guys!
