Hi everyone,
can anyone please help me with getting loggs from Kubernetes `RunNamespacedJob` to TASK RUN window in the UI?
So far I'm getting just:
```12:21:32
INFO
RunNamespacedJob
Job test-app has been created.
12:21:37
INFO
RunNamespacedJob
Job test-app has been completed.
12:21:37
INFO
RunNamespacedJob
Job test-app has been deleted.```
but I'd also like to see what's going on INSIDE the job itself.

Thank you in advance! :slightly_smiling_face::+1:

Hi <@U01D4QKPYA2>!

Try setting `log_stdout=True` in your task decorator :thumbsup:

Hi <@UKVFX6N3B>, thank you for the reply.
I've been trying it this way (*app_job* on line 5):
```namespace = 'default'
postgres_deployment_body = read_yaml('../postgres_deployment.yml')
app_job_body = read_yaml('../app_job.yml')
postgres_deployment = CreateNamespacedDeployment(body=postgres_deployment_body, namespace=namespace, kubernetes_api_key_secret=None)
app_job = RunNamespacedJob(body=app_job_body, kubernetes_api_key_secret=None, log_stdout=True)
delete_postgres_deployment = DeleteNamespacedDeployment(kubernetes_api_key_secret=None)

with Flow("first-attempt-deploy") as flow:
    # name = prefect.Parameter("name", default='John')

    patch_k8s = patch_kubernetes()
    postgres_deployment_result = postgres_deployment(upstream_tasks=[patch_k8s])
    app_job_result = app_job(upstream_tasks=[postgres_deployment_result])
    delete_postgres_deployment(deployment_name=postgres_deployment_body['metadata']['name'],
                               upstream_tasks=[app_job_result])

flow.storage = Docker()
flow.register(project_name="myproject")```
but it didn't do anything. I've tried to put <http://logger.info|logger.info>() , logger.error() and print() statements into the job, but niether showed up.

Is this the way you mean, or is there another one?

It turns out we don’t actually have a task in the task library for getting pod logs (although we would accept a contribution). You would have to call something like `read_namespaced_pod_log` from the kubernetes library to get the logs from the pod that the job creates. Prefect doesn’t have access to the logs by default because the job is running in a separate container

<@UKVFX6N3B> Alright, thank you very much. :-) I'm afraid my sklills are not yet on such a level for me to be a valid contributor to the project, but maybe in future. Prefect looks very promissing! Thanks again! :-)

I also ran into this issue, soo I opened up a <https://github.com/PrefectHQ/prefect/pull/3715|PR>!
