Details for Container Engine for Kubernetes

Logging details for Container Engine for Kubernetes.

The following Kubernetes control plane process logs are available for Container Engine for Kubernetes as service logs:

  • The kube-scheduler log, containing errors and events within the kube-scheduler process (such as scheduler decisions).
  • The kube-controller-manager log, containing errors and events within the kube-controller-manager process (such as reconciling the deployment).
  • The cloud-controller-manager log, containing errors and events within the cloud-controller-manager process (such as provisioning the load balancer).
  • The kube-apiserver log, containing errors and events within the kube-apiserver process (for every request sent to the Kubernetes API server).

The service logs are configured at the default Kubernetes log level verbosity (v=2). At this level, the service logs contain useful steady state information about the service, and important log messages that might correlate to significant changes in the system.
