console output of containers running in AWS EKS

some time ago i deployed a simple chat application in azure kubernetes service. It consists of an activemq, redis and two java spring containers. When i deployed them to the azure kubernetes service, i was always able to see the console output (Tomcat started on.. and so on) of the deployments.

Now i am trying to do the same on AWS EKS. I am unable to find the console outputs of my deployments. I want to see them, because some error happens when i try to connect to the activemq broker from my local client program. I am new to AWS, so it would be great if someone could tell me how or where to see the output/protocols for e.g. the jms-server deployment. Thank you.

The best way, IMO, to view the logs of your pods is by accessing your cluster using kubectl, this is the most common way to administer k8s clusters and will allow you to view logs across all of your pods as well as performing a lot of other administrative tasks.

You can follow this guide to configure kubectl access to your cluster.

Once you can access the cluster using kubectl, you can use the kubectl logs <pod_name> command to see the logs of each pod.
