# Guidelines for Exporting Logs
## **Admin Portal**
* Log in to the admin portal. Navigate to **App Container Logs** under the **Insights** section in the left blade.
* Select the required Application/Container logs using the checkboxes, then click **Export** to download them.
## **To retrieve additional logs from various Azure services:**
### 1. App Service
#### Log Stream:
* In the App Service blade, under **Monitoring**, select **Log stream**.
* This opens a live log streaming session for your application.
#### **Deployment Center Logs:**

`kubectl logs -n `
* **Stream logs in real-time:**
`kubectl logs -f -n `
* **Export logs of specific pod**
`kubectl logs -n > podlogs.txt`
### 3. Container Instance
