# Logging
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Logging by Kubernetes Components
 | 
						|
Kubernetes components, such as kubelet and apiserver, use the [glog](https://godoc.org/github.com/golang/glog) logging library.  Developer conventions for logging severity are described in [devel/logging.md](devel/logging.md).
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Examining the logs of running containers
 | 
						|
The logs of a running container may be fetched using the command `kubectl logs`. For example, given
 | 
						|
this pod specification which has a container which writes out some text to standard
 | 
						|
output every second [counter-pod.yaml](/examples/blog-logging/counter-pod.yaml):
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 apiVersion: v1
 | 
						|
 kind: Pod
 | 
						|
 metadata:
 | 
						|
   name: counter
 | 
						|
 spec:
 | 
						|
   containers:
 | 
						|
   - name: count
 | 
						|
     image: ubuntu:14.04
 | 
						|
     args: [bash, -c, 
 | 
						|
            'for ((i = 0; ; i++)); do echo "$i: $(date)"; sleep 1; done']
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
we can run the pod:
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 $ kubectl create -f counter-pod.yaml
 | 
						|
 pods/counter
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
and then fetch the logs:
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
$ kubectl logs counter
 | 
						|
0: Tue Jun  2 21:37:31 UTC 2015
 | 
						|
1: Tue Jun  2 21:37:32 UTC 2015
 | 
						|
2: Tue Jun  2 21:37:33 UTC 2015
 | 
						|
3: Tue Jun  2 21:37:34 UTC 2015
 | 
						|
4: Tue Jun  2 21:37:35 UTC 2015
 | 
						|
5: Tue Jun  2 21:37:36 UTC 2015
 | 
						|
...
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
If a pod has more than one container then you need to specify which container's log files should
 | 
						|
be fetched e.g.
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
$ kubectl logs kube-dns-v3-7r1l9 etcd
 | 
						|

## Cluster level logging to Google Cloud Logging
 | 
						|
The getting started guide [Cluster Level Logging to Google Cloud Logging](getting-started-guides/logging.md)
 | 
						|
explains how container logs are ingested into [Google Cloud Logging](https://cloud.google.com/logging/docs/)
 | 
						|
and shows how to query the ingested logs.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Cluster level logging with Elasticsearch and Kibana
 | 
						|
The getting started guide [Cluster Level Logging with Elasticsearch and Kibana](getting-started-guides/logging-elasticsearch.md)
 | 
						|
describes how to ingest cluster level logs into Elasticsearch and view them using Kibana.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Ingesting Application Log Files
 | 
						|
Cluster level logging only collects the standard output and standard error output of the applications
 | 
						|
running in containers. The guide [Collecting log files within containers with Fluentd](/contrib/logging/fluentd-sidecar-gcp/README.md) explains how the log files of applications can also be ingested into Google Cloud logging.
