My personal preference for log tailing is Stern. It doesn't have a web UI but then I've never felt like I needed one.

Happy to see this mentioned and still being useful to people! I started this project 9 years ago at a startup but progress stopped when the startup got acquired. The community took over and has done a fantastic job keeping it alive


If you get a chance to try out the Kubetail CLI, I'd love to hear your thoughts! There's a lot of overlap with stern at the moment but we're planning on adding new features soon that will be unique (e.g. remote grep, system logs).


I was about to comment about Stern. It's an established well known OSS project - I wonder if the author knew about it, and if so.. what was his inspiration for creating an almost identical clone, albeit with a UI on top?


+1 for Stern especially since it only has Go dependencies whereas Kubetail does not. Ease of integration with an existing stack is a bigger addition than the lack of a web UI is a subtraction.


Stern is the best!
