Unable to view older pod logs in Lens

Hi everyone :wave:

I’m facing an issue with Lens regarding pod logs.

Lens only shows logs for a very recent time window.
For example:

  • Current time is 11:50
  • I can only see logs from around 11:07 to 11:50
  • I’m unable to scroll back or access older logs

Is this a known limitation of Lens?
Is there any setting to adjust (log buffer, tail size, retention, etc.)?
Or does Lens strictly rely on the cluster’s logging configuration (container runtime, log rotation, etc.)?

Any insight or workaround would be appreciated
Thanks!

If you keep scrolling back, what happens? Lens should load more logs from the past if you reach the top of the logs window.

Can you use the date picker to jump back in time?

Do you see more logs with kubectl?
