<p>I am using Argo and have a question about the workflow of workflows example. (<a href="https://github.com/argoproj/argo-workflows/blob/master/examples/workflow-of-workflows.yaml" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://github.com/argoproj/argo-workflows/blob/master/examples/workflow-of-workflows.yaml</a>)</p>
<p>UPDATED YET AGAIN</p>
<p>As pointed out below, it is a task that I need to view.  So my question is now - How do I view the logs from a task?</p>
<p>My workflow completes without error, but does not produce the expected output.  I would like to look at the logs of one of the containers within one of the workflows within the overall workflow, but I cannot get the syntax right I am using the following convention to get the logs from the relevant pod.</p>
<pre><code>argo logs -n argo wf-name pod-name
</code></pre>
<p>and getting:</p>

<p>Based on this output, the container name seems to be argo/Workflow.argoproj.io/message-passing-1-t8749  but when I add that to the end I get an error.  Here are the commands I have tried:</p>
<pre><code>argo logs -n argo workflow-of-workflows-k8fm5 workflow-of-workflows-k8fm5-3824346685 -c argo/Workflow.argoproj.io/message-passing-1-t8749
</code></pre>
<p>or</p>
<pre><code>argo logs -n argo workflow-of-workflows-k8fm5 workflow-of-workflows-k8fm5-3824346685 -c message-passing-1-t8749
</code></pre>

<p>Thanks to Alex of ArgoProj!</p>
<p>Here is a command I did not know:</p>
<p>kubectl get workflow</p>
<p>will list (surprise) workflows!  From there, I could see the individual workflows embedded into the larger workflow.</p>
