Monitoring, Logging, and Debugging
Sometimes things go wrong. This guide is aimed at making them right. It has two sections:
- Debugging your application - Useful for users who are deploying code into Kubernetes and wondering why it is not working.
- Debugging your cluster - Useful for cluster administrators and people whose Kubernetes cluster is unhappy.
You should also check the known issues for the release you're using.
Getting help
If your problem isn't answered by any of the guides above, there are variety of ways for you to get help from the Kubernetes community.
Questions
The documentation on this site has been structured to provide answers to a wide
range of questions. Concepts explain the Kubernetes
architecture and how each component works, while Setup provides
practical instructions for getting started. Tasks show how to
accomplish commonly used tasks, and Tutorials are more
comprehensive walkthroughs of real-world, industry-specific, or end-to-end
development scenarios. The Reference section provides
detailed documentation on the Kubernetes API
and command-line interfaces (CLIs), such as kubectl.
