Information about the containers and pods on your cluster may be obtained using the kubectl logs command. These logs allow you to know the performance of your applications, whether they are failing or healthy, and are particularly useful for debugging and troubleshooting purposes. In this article, we will see how to use the kubectl logs command to get information from existing resources in a Kubernetes cluster. Before we dive in, let's first take a quick look Kubernetes architecture and logging.

In this video, you will see a demo of how to monitor Kafka with OpenTelemetry. We will instrument a NodeJS application using Kafka and get client side metrics like delay between producer emitting a message to consumer receiving it via distributed tracing. We will also get Kafka server metrics like consumer lag and plot it dashboards.
