<p>I've created a Kubernetes job that has now failed. Where can I find the logs to this job?</p>

<p>I'm not sure how to find the associated pod (I assume once the job fails it deletes the pod)?</p>

<p>Running <code>kubectl describe job</code> does not seem to show any relevant information:</p>

<p>One other approach:</p>

<ul>
<li><code>kubectl describe job $JOB</code></li>
<li>Pod name is shown under "Events"</li>
<li><code>kubectl logs $POD</code></li>
</ul>
