## What it is
Kubernetes History Inspector (KHI) is a log visualization tool that turns Kubernetes cluster logs into interactive timeline and topology views for troubleshooting. It is agentless and can run via Docker, including in Google Cloud Shell.

## Use cases
- troubleshoot kubernetes cluster issues from logs
- visualize kube-apiserver audit logs as a timeline
- see resource status changes and manifest diffs over time
- inspect relationships between kubernetes resources
- debug issues spanning multiple cluster components
- view gke cluster logs without installing agents

## When to choose
- you need to correlate logs across many Kubernetes components during incident investigation
- you want an agentless viewer for audit logs and Cloud Logging data
- you prefer a visual timeline/topology over raw log grep

## When to avoid
- you need real-time live log tailing rather than historical inspection
- your logs are not from Kubernetes or Google Cloud Logging sources
- you want a lightweight CLI log filter instead of a web UI
