🚀 Features

After completing the installation, you will see a new action Multi Pod Logs for Deployments menu:

The new action will open a new terminal where all the logs coming from all the containers of all the pods of the deployment will be shown.

🎨 Colored logs

If you're using Windows 10 (and PowerShell as terminal in Lens) and you don't see colored pod logs, you can enable colors running this command:

Set-ItemProperty HKCU:\Console VirtualTerminalLevel -Type DWORD 1

Then restart Lens.
