<p>I am looking for these logs:</p>

<pre><code>/var/log/kube-apiserver.log
/var/log/kube-scheduler.log
/var/log/kube-controller-manager.log
</code></pre>

<p>In EKS user does not have access to the control plane and can't see these files directly.</p>

<p>I am aware of <a href="https://docs.aws.amazon.com/eks/latest/userguide/logging-using-cloudtrail.html" rel="noreferrer">CloudTrail</a> integration announced by AWS. But it shows events not from k8s API, but AWS EKS API like <code>CreateCluster</code> event. Also the open question how to get scheduler and controller manager logs.</p>

<p>There is no pods for api and controller in pods list.</p>

<pre><code>$ kubectl get po --all-namespaces
NAMESPACE     NAME                             READY     STATUS             RESTARTS   AGE

kube-system   aws-node-wj2cg                   1/1       Running            0          2h

kube-system   kube-proxy-7mt7l                 1/1       Running            0          2h

</code></pre>

<p>There is no master nodes in the node list</p>

<pre><code>$ kubectl get nodes
NAME                        STATUS    ROLES     AGE       VERSION
ip-10-0-0-92.ec2.internal   Ready     &lt;none&gt;    9m        v1.10.3
ip-10-0-1-63.ec2.internal   Ready     &lt;none&gt;    9m        v1.10.3
</code></pre>
