Your Pod Crashed. Dstl8 Tells You Why.
Pipe kubectl logs or your cluster’s OTLP into Dstl8 and get root cause — CrashLoopBackOff, OOMKilled, the silent restart — cited to the exact log line, across every namespace.

The problem
Kubernetes tells you what failed, not why.
kubectl logs won’t say why
The pod restarted, but the logs scroll past faster than you can read and the reason is three crashes back.
Millions of lines across namespaces
The failure is in there somewhere — across pods, namespaces, and replicas. You don’t have time to grep all of it.
Everything’s red, nothing says what started it
CrashLoopBackOff, OOMKilled, a cascading failure — the dashboard shows the symptoms but not the first domino.
How it works
Root cause in three steps.
1 · Pipe in your cluster logs
kubectl logs -f | dstl8, work alongside k9s or Stern, or point your cluster’s OTLP collector at Dstl8. No agents to deploy.
2 · Möbius AI distills the noise
Continuous distillation turns millions of pod and namespace log lines into the handful of patterns, regressions, and anomalies that actually matter.
3 · Get root cause, cited
Why the pod crashed — OOMKilled, a bad config, a failing dependency — delivered to your terminal or Slack, cited to the exact log line.
See it work
Inside Dstl8 — service health, pod incidents, log patterns, and the root cause Möbius surfaces.
Why teams switch
“brew install, pointed it at our K8s cluster, and Möbius was answering why is this service degrading in 90 seconds. Felt like cheating.”

Questions
Before you start.
Does it work with kubectl, k9s, and Stern?
Yes. Pipe kubectl logs straight into Dstl8, run it alongside k9s or Stern, or send your cluster’s OTLP. It fits the CLI workflow you already use.
Do I need a credit card to start?
No. The 14-day free trial gives you full platform access with no credit card required.
Does it work across multiple namespaces?
Yes. Dstl8 analyzes log streams across pods, namespaces, and replicas, and surfaces the pattern behind the failure wherever it started.
Is there a free, open-source option?
Yes. Gonzo is our MIT-licensed terminal log analysis tool — pipe kubectl logs in with brew install gonzo, no account needed. Dstl8 adds continuous analysis and Möbius AI root cause.
How is this different from Datadog?
Dstl8 distills signal at the source instead of charging you to ingest everything, and Möbius AI hands you root cause cited to the log line instead of a dashboard to interpret yourself.
