"Search" feels like a bit of a stretch to me--that suggests that it plays in the same space as OpenSearch or Splunk. There's no index here that I can tell. "Filter" sounds more accurate.

Re: Show HN: Kubetail – Real-time log search for Kubernetes
#22Damn, if you took out the “Kubernetes” part, and made it generalized, it looks like you built something that I have wanted to see for a long time. I think log explorers work best as a GUI, and that they need deep integration with structured logs. Basically I just want the DataDog log explorer but locally, and able to simply intake from some files. Some have tried, but they are always too simple, not parsing out prope…
Another alternative is https://openobserve.ai/ . It needs to run as a daemon to ingest logs (instead of opening a file), but it has a really nice UI.

#23Great demo video btw. Would you mind detailing which software you used to make it? I'd like to do similarly for some of my projects.

#24I don't use kubernetes but the GUI looks great, I'm looking for something sililar for heroku (currently storing logs in papertrail but haven't found a great way to search through achieved logs, especially locally). Great demo video btw. Would you mind detailing which software you used to make it? I'd like to do similarly for some of my projects.
Regarding Heroku - I loved Heroku the first time I used it so I set up my Kubernetes cluster to work in a similar way (`git push` to deploy to production). I know K8s has a reputation for being useful only for large deployments/large teams but in my experience this isn't true. You can run a single node cluster and use it to host multiple projects all sharing the same load balancer, or you can scale up to thousands of machines with many microservices working together internally. Would it be helpful for you to see a HOWTO for setting up a Heroku-like K8s cluster?

#25My personal preference for log tailing is Stern. It doesn't have a web UI but then I've never felt like I needed one. https://github.com/stern/stern

#26Otherwise check out grafana with Loki (kube-stack)

#28bruh merging logs from all pods at once is something i always wanted, props for finally making this sane
Re: Show HN: Kubetail – Real-time log search for Kubernetes
#29Not to be confused with the other kubetail that also does kube log things. https://github.com/johanhaleby/kubetail
Thanks for posting a link to Johan's project. I'm in touch with him to figure out the best way to avoid confusing users.

Thanks! I used Screen Studio for the demos ( https://screen.studio ). I had to pay for it but I couldn't find the zoom+highlight feature anywhere else.

Thanks for sharing! The zoom and highlight are so simple but really make your demo pop.

Sure, I think a lot of people would appreciate that!
