[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-31234?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]
Weihua Hu updated FLINK-31234: ------------------------------ Description: Flink on Kubernetes does not support redirecting stdout/stderr to files. This is to allow users to get logs via "kubectl logs". But for our internal scenario, we use a kubernetes user to submit all jobs to the k8s cluster and provide a platform for users to submit jobs. Users can't access kubernetes directly. so we need to display logs/stdout in flink webui. Because the web ui retrieves the stdout file by filename, which has the same prefix as \{taskmanager}.log (such as flink--kubernetes-taskmanager-0-my-first-flink-cluster-taskmanager-1-4.log). We can't support this with a simple custom image. IMO, we should add an option to redirect stdout/stderr to files. When this setting is enabled. 1. flink-console.sh will redirect stdout/err to files. 2. avoid logs twices in the log file and the stdout file. Of course, this option is false by default. was: Flink on Kubernetes does not support redirecting stdout/stderr to files. This is to allow users to get logs via "kubectl logs".
