Is there a way to open logs view of multiple pods at the same time?

[softKarma]

To view the logs of a POD, one can open the log view. However, it overlays on the screen, and hence, one can view logs only from one pod at a time. It's quite cumbersome to keep switching between log views of multiple pods while debugging.
Is there a way to keep the log view from multiple pods open at the same time, e.g., in multiple tabs like in a browser? or do I need to raise a feature request?

Headlamp desktop app currently doesn't have tabbing functionality.
As a workaround you could start Headlamp in a headless mode then it opens the app in the browser.
But also feel free to open an issue with a feature request.

@softKarma see the instructions here: #2581

With that you can follow logs for pods in a Deployment/ReplicaSet/DaemonSet.

Can you please add a feature request if this is not sufficient?

Thanks for the reply. In the feature that you have mentioned, it seems that one can only look at the logs from a single type of pod. What I am looking for is a way to open logs from multiple pods at once, like tabs in a browser, so that I can quickly switch between the log views of various pods to analyze them. Currently, it is cumbersome to do so as I have to close a log view and then select another pod and switch to it. I think will raise a feature request for this.

A more flexible solution could be a draggable popup system, where each pod’s log view opens in a floating window. This would let users reposition and layer them(move front or back of one popup) , making it easier to compare logs and debug multiple pods.

However, since there are considerations around UI/UX, it would be best to open a feature request so the maintainers can evaluate and track it properly.

Thanks for the reply. I would prefer a tabbing feature like the browser. With tabs like in a browser the user can navigate to other K8s objects in the UI without closing the log views. I think it would be easier to implement as well. I will raise a feature request for this.
