Overview

This node interacts with a Kubernetes cluster to perform various operations on Kubernetes resources. Specifically, for the 'Logs' operation, it retrieves logs from a specified Kubernetes resource within a given namespace. This node is useful for monitoring and debugging applications running in Kubernetes by accessing their logs directly within an automation workflow.

Use Case Examples

1. Fetching logs from a specific pod in the 'default' namespace to monitor application behavior.
2. Retrieving logs from a deployment to diagnose issues during a CI/CD pipeline.

Properties

Output

JSON

• logs - The logs retrieved from the specified Kubernetes resource.

Dependencies

• Requires Kubernetes API credentials to authenticate and interact with the Kubernetes cluster.

Troubleshooting

• Ensure that the Kubernetes credentials provided have sufficient permissions to access the specified namespace and resource.
• Verify that the resource name and namespace are correct; otherwise, the node may fail to retrieve logs or return empty results.
• Common error: 'No credentials got returned!' indicates missing or misconfigured Kubernetes credentials; ensure credentials are properly set up in n8n.
