Lens: Logs per workload

[aexvir]

Make logging available per workload

Why is this needed:
Most deployments have more than a single pod, usually, when searching for something, or making some test, it's not always known in which exact pod the request will end up, so it's really useful to tail the logs from all the pods of a workload

It would actually be really nice if it could have all the options that stern has, for example, like filtering per container or allowing to specify exclusions

Environment you are Lens application on:

• Kubernetes distribution: GKE, Rancher and EKS, but I don't think it matters
• Desktop OS: macOS

Agree, it would be a killer feature!

Even a quick way to switch between pods (within a deployment) when viewing logs would be a great help - having to backtrack to the deployment, scroll back down to the list of pods and then drill into the next one and hit the logs again isn't ideal, especially since the list of pods doesn't seem to have a stable sort order. If your pod names are long enough that they get truncated, it's easy to end up checking the same pod twice instead of checking the next one.

The one thing I _really_ miss from Kubernetes Dashboard is being able to switch between logs within a deployment.

For example, here we have the dashboard view of logs for our datadog agent deployment:

We can choose between the specific named containers from within the deployment:

And then easily flick between the logs for a specific container instance:

For what it's worth I am also very interested in that feature.

+1 for this. Aggregated logs across all pods in a deployment (or even namespace) would be fantastic. I just tried out some other offerings that have this feature and it was very easy to see that one pod wasn't co-operating like it should.
