Managed Service for Kubernetes provides logs about clusters and node groups. Use these logs for troubleshooting and tracking actions on Managed Kubernetes resources. The logs are available in the web console: on the https://mintcdn.com/nebius-ai-cloud/1Ha0sWR6e1mnIaHS/_assets/sidebar/observability.svg?fit=max&auto=format&n=1Ha0sWR6e1mnIaHS&q=85&s=911a6fc7da512bdf286067c68245a501 Observability → Logs page or on the Logs tab of a cluster page. The service supports two types of logs:
  • Audit logs: Contain metadata about operations that modify a cluster. For example, who and when created or deleted a Pod. Disabled by default; you can enable them.
  • Control plane logs: Show actions recorded by control plane components of a cluster. For example, you can learn about the cluster scaling, Pod scheduling or node availability. The control plane logs are collected from the following components: In addition, Kubernetes generates node events. They provide information about Kubernetes resources, for example, state changes, node errors, Pod errors or scheduling failures. The control plane logs are enabled by default; you cannot disable them.

How to enable audit logs

Audit logs in Managed Kubernetes are disabled by default. To enable them, run the following command: 
nebius mk8s cluster update --id <cluster_ID> --control-plane-audit-logs

​
How to view logs

  1. In the sidebar, go to https://mintcdn.com/nebius-ai-cloud/1Ha0sWR6e1mnIaHS/_assets/sidebar/compute.svg?fit=max&auto=format&n=1Ha0sWR6e1mnIaHS&q=85&s=b91340217b08a1456d88ae0347f281d1 Compute → Kubernetes.
  2. Open the page of the required cluster and then go to the Logs tab.
  3. In the Bucket field, select Managed Kubernetes audit logs or Managed Kubernetes control planes.
  4. (Optional) To check logs for a specific control plane component, select it in the Component field.
  5. Apply the required period.
