Not able to switch between kubeconfigs

[daki88]

Seems like there is no option to choose different kubeconfig, which can be useful when working with multiple clusters in different kubeconfigs

Maybe you could help out and add support for it?

[daki88]

Not sure if my knowledge is wide enough to create support for this...

There is a -t, --context option for this.

Gather all your different Kube-conf files in a folder. And export these files separated by a colon. Also, you can add to your ~/.bash_profile file.

export KUBECONFIG=/home/user/.kube/config1:/home/user/.kube/config2:/home/user/.kube/config3

To get context names: kubectl config get-contexts

Then just use kubetail with -t option:

kubetail some-pod-name -t cluster1 -n prod -s 10m

I used a symbolic link to select a specific config:
ln ~/.kube/config ~/.kube/config-specifc.yml -d --symbolic
