Kubernetes logs inaccessible when centralized logging pipeline breaks

When centralized log aggregation pipelines fail or logs are delayed, developers cannot access logs stored in Kubernetes pods, forcing them to rely on kubectl logs which is cumbersome for debugging broken systems.

“Show HN: Telescope now queries Kubernetes logs directly Telescope originally started as a ClickHouse-focused log viewer. But while building it, I kept running into the same pattern: when everything worked, logs were in ClickHouse. When things broke, logs were still inside Kubernetes. That gap led to adding Kubernetes as a native log source. This is not meant to replace proper log aggregation. Centralized storage with indexing and retention policies is still the right approach for production. But”
