Where are the Kubernetes kubelet logs located?
I installed Kubernetes on my Ubuntu machine. For some debugging purposes I need to look at the kubelet log file (if there is any such file). I looked at /vat/logs but I couldn't find a such file. Where could that be?

If you run kubelet using systemd, then you could use the following method to see kubelet's logs:
systemd
# journalctl -u kubelet
Finally I could find it in /var/log/upstart directory. Kubernetes in my machine is started using upstart. That's why those log files are in upstart directory
It depends how it was installed. I installed Kubernetes on some Ubuntu machines following the Docker-MultiNode instructions at http://kubernetes.io/v1.1/docs/getting-started-guides/docker-multinode.html.
With this install, I find the logs using the logs command like this.
Find your container ID.
$ docker ps | egrep kubelet
Use that container ID to view the logs
$ docker logs <container-id>
<container-id>
I installed Kubernetes by running kube-up.sh script in cluster directory and I have a single node running as both master and minion

The kubelet is normally a process in the host, not a pod.
