Comment on Show HN: Kubetail – Web-based real-time log viewer for Kubernetes

Comments

Demo worked fine until I added the kubetail-demo pod as a source, which crashed my browser tab. Copying the same URL into a new tab loaded the page but stuck in "Loading logs" until it also crashed the tab.

Sorry about that! It's fixed now. Currently, kubetail displays the entire log history by default which can cause the frontend to hang if there's a lot of data. In the case of the kubetail-demo pod, there were a lot of messages from a user continuously retrying to make a websocket connection and the quantity of those messages crashed your tab. I've disabled logging for the app instance so viewing those pod logs won't crash your browser again. Upgrading the kubetail frontend so it can handle more data is next up on the to-do list.

I'll give installing it a shot after that is fixed!

Here's the github issue if you want to get notified when it gets fixed: https://github.com/kubetail-org/kubetail/issues/2
