Meet Kubernetes History Inspector, a log visualization tool for Kubernetes clusters

Kubernetes History Inspector (KHI) is an open-source tool developed by Google Cloud to visualize logs in Kubernetes clusters.
Troubleshooting in Kubernetes involves dealing with complex logs from various components, requiring deep analysis.
KHI simplifies log collection and analysis by visualizing log data in a chronological timeline.
It helps track the evolution of each component over time and link the timeline back to raw log data for better understanding.
KHI, launched as a container image, does not require lengthy setup or agent installation, making it practical for critical situations.
By using KHI, engineers can efficiently troubleshoot Kubernetes issues, such as performance degradations or configuration errors.
The tool provides a macroscopic view of the Kubernetes environment through a timeline and offers microscopic details from raw logs and manifests.
KHI's visualization helps identify issues like readiness probe failures and visualizes interdependencies within Kubernetes clusters.
While currently optimized for GKE and Kubernetes on Google Cloud, plans are in place to extend KHI's capabilities to open-source Kubernetes setups.
KHI, aimed at simplifying Kubernetes operations, requires knowledge of Kubernetes concepts and application architecture for effective troubleshooting.
