tjololo / ploggi

Access pod logs

ploggi

Simple golang application that exposes container logs as a grpc service.

The server has two rpc:

    rpc GetLog (Pod) returns (PodLog);
    rpc StreamLog (Pod) returns (stream PodLog);

Proto file

_hack/example/ contains example clients for both rpcs

Local development

1. Start a kind cluster with local docker registry enabled

   ./_hack/setup_kind.sh
   

2. Build ploggi docker image using ko

   make local-image
   

3. Push image to local registry

   make push-local
   

4. Apply manifests to kind cluster

   make apply-kind
   

5. Forward port to service in kind cluster

   kubectl port-forward svc/ploggi 8080:8080
   

6. Start stream client

   go run _hack/examples/ploggi_stream_client/stream.go <ploggi-pod-name> ploggi
   

7. Execute get client

   go run _hack/examples/ploggi_get_client/get.go <ploggi-pod-name> ploggi
   

   Ploggi will log every time the get rpc is executed and logs should be streamed to the stream client.
