# Guidelines for Exporting Logs

* 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:**

### Note: App Service does not persist deployment logs after restarts or after a certain retention period.

{% endhint %}

* From the left blade, select **Deployment Center**.
* Click on **Logs**.
* These logs include build steps, deployment actions, and any errors or warnings.
* If a deployment is in progress, logs will stream live in the Logs pane.

#### In Cloud Shell, use the following commands to view pod logs:

* **List all pods in a namespace:**

`kubectl get pods -n <namespace>`

* **View logs of a specific pod:**

`kubectl logs <pod-name> -n <namespace>`

* **Stream logs in real-time:**

`kubectl logs -f <pod-name> -n <namespace>`

* **Export logs of specific pod**

`kubectl logs <pod-name> -n <namespace> > podlogs.txt`

### 3. Container Instance

#### Container Logs:

* On the left blade, click **Containers**.
* Select the specific container you want to inspect.
* Click on **Logs**; this shows the individual container’s logs.
