Cluster event logs

The Events log view in the Cockpit displays information about events within the cluster. These events show what is occurring inside your cluster, such as scheduler decisions or why pods are being evicted from a node.

For the Infrastructure Events screen (summary metrics and filters), see Cluster events.

Select desired cluster

Select your desired cluster from the dropdown menu at the top of the Cockpit.

Select desired cluster in the Cockpit

View cluster event logs

From Logs > Events:

  1. Select your desired cluster.
  2. Select the start and end date range.
  3. If desired, enter a term to filter on.
  4. Click Apply filters.

When you Apply filters, the selection persists: if you reload the page, you see the same filter selection.

It also ensures you can share the selection and the recipient sees the same view as you do.
