@Marvin how can I capture the logs from a kubernetes job pod in prefect?

To capture logs from a Kubernetes Job pod in Prefect, you generally would need to ensure that your flow is configured to run on Kubernetes infrastructure. Here's how it works with Prefect: - KubernetesJob Infrastructure: Prefect's

KubernetesJob

infrastructure object allows you to execute flow runs in a Kubernetes Job. It is essential to understand that local storage is not supported, and you must configure remote storage. Additionally, a Prefect server or Prefect Cloud API endpoint must be set in your agent's configuration. - Requirements:

kubectl

must be available in your environment to manage and interact with Kubernetes resources. - Capturing Logs: While the documentation provided does not explicitly mention how to capture logs, in a Kubernetes context, you usually would use

kubectl logs <POD_NAME>

to retrieve logs from a pod. This command can be issued after your job has been submitted and while it's running or after completion, within the job retention period configured by

finished_job_ttl

. Most likely, you would use Kubernetes tools and commands to capture these logs rather than a Prefect-specific feature. If your flow logs are not showing up in the Kubernetes job logs, it could be due to how the logging is configured within your flow or Docker image. Remember to set any necessary environment variables using the

env

attribute of the

KubernetesJob

to ensure that your logging configuration is passed to the container correctly. If you are having trouble capturing logs or need more specific guidance, it would be best to specify your setup details, and I can assist further.

hi @Pooyan - are you using the helm chart to run your k8s worker? by default, it should stream logs as long as the bool field on your work pool is on

Hi Nate! It is a k8s worker but I am running another k8s job via

run_namespaced_job

off of a k8s job yaml file. so looking to get logs from another container basically. The logs I get from

run_namespaced_job

are the following format but not really the logs from container

[Completed(message=None, type=COMPLETED, result=PersistedResult(type='reference', artifact_type='result', artifact_description='Result of type `dict` persisted to: `/root/.prefect/storage/e5317eff71814a1bab6af0fdc248b5c8`', serializer_type='pickle', storage_block_id=UUID('cb8cba71-7bdb-43b6-87a4-4a76ac598b72'), storage_key='e5317eff71814a1bab6af0fdc248b5c8'))]

ah man, i believe I'm the author of

run_namespaced_job

and it seems that this

dict

here

Copy code

'Result of type `dict` persisted to: `/root/.prefect/storage/e5317eff71814a1bab6af0fdc248b5c8`'

are the logs from your job invoked via

run_namespaced_job

Thanks, yeah that was my feeling. I will check
