Requirements

Kubelog comes as a single binary and should work on most systems out of the box. Depending on your platform you may need to install some prerequisites:

Windows

Kubelog is tested on Windows 10 and 11. The Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime is required.

macOS

Kubelog is tested on macOS Tahoe and Sequoia.

Linux

The Linux build is bundled as an AppImage, which requires FUSE to be installed. If you don't have FUSE installed check out their docs on how to get started.

Changelog

Version 1.7.1

This release introduces reusable field extractors, improves log parsing, and makes high-volume log streaming smoother and more reliable.

Highlights

• Field extractors: Right-click a log line and select Add fields from this line to create additional columns using named regex capture groups.
• Extracted fields can be displayed as columns, used as facets, and searched immediately.
• Custom column sets are now called Log parsers, better distinguishing full log parsing from additive field extraction.
• Existing saved custom-column configurations remain compatible.

Improvements

• Reduced UI repaint frequency for smoother performance during high-volume log streaming.
• Improved generated regexes for timestamps, key-value fields, and tokens containing colons.
• Automatically selects a suitable default column for manually configured log parsers.
• Improved Kubernetes stream handling when pods complete or streams reach EOF.
• Reapplying a field extractor now correctly updates existing fields, facets, searches, findings, and timeline data.

macOS

• macOS builds now use vendored, statically linked OpenSSL.
• Updated the Intel build runner and simplified universal application packaging.

Fixes

• Fixed stale preview values after changing parser or field-extractor regexes.
• Fixed parsing of timestamps that could be mistaken for key-value fields.
• Fixed regex generation when keys contain characters requiring escaping.
