Generally Available: Container network logs in AKS

Networking issues in Kubernetes environments can be difficult to diagnose due to limited visibility into traffic flows and insufficient context around failures. Container network logs in Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS), now generally available, provide context‑rich visibility into network flows by capturing detailed per‑flow metadata such as IPs, ports, namespaces, pod and service names, flow direction, and policy verdicts across L3/L4 and supported Layer 7 protocols including HTTP, gRPC, and Kafka. This capability supports both stored logs for continuous, filter-based collection and on-demand logs for targeted snapshots.

The new network monitoring experience in Azure Monitor for AKS makes this data easier to consume through out-of-the-box visualizations, pre-built Azure Monitor and Grafana dashboards, and single‑click onboarding in the Azure portal. These enhancements help technical practitioners accelerate troubleshooting, improve insight into traffic patterns, and simplify analysis of issues such as packet loss, DNS failures, and connection errors.
