Cluster Logs

The Logs tab for a selected cluster in the Hybrid Manager provides real-time and historical insights into the cluster’s internal operations, system events, and extension-level activities. It is a critical tool for debugging, diagnostics, and monitoring the health of individual pods in the cluster.

Purpose

Logs tab serves as a centralized logging interface that enables users to trace events, warnings, and system activity for each pod within a cluster. It helps database administrators and Kubernetes operators quickly identify operational issues, such as misconfigured extensions, heartbeat failures, or missing components.

Key features

  • View Pod-Level Logs

    Displays logs per pod, making it easy to isolate issues affecting specific parts of the cluster.

  • Filter by Time Range

    Use the date selector to filter logs within a specific time frame, improving focus during incident investigation.

  • Search & Filter Events

    Easily locate relevant log entries by filtering on event type or keyword.

  • Log Level Indicators

    Quickly assess the severity of each event through labels like Info or Warn.

  • Detailed Error Descriptions

    Logs include detailed error messages such as missing extensions or failed queries, which help in root cause analysis.

The logs tab displays a detailed information of the logs with the following cloumns:

ColumnDescription
TimestampIndicates when the log event occurred (UTC).
PodThe pod where the event originated.
EventA brief description of the event, such as extension errors or heartbeat checks. Also provides the level of severity label like info, warn, etc. of the event.

Usability

  • Verifying if monitoring extensions (like query_advisor, edb_stat_monitor) are active and correctly configured.

  • Investigating errors related to missing or non-functional database extensions.

  • Tracking regular system-level events such as pod heartbeats.

  • Auditing recent changes or anomalies in cluster behavior.
