podman pod logs enhancements: option to display names

[muayyad-alsadi]

Is this a BUG REPORT or FEATURE REQUEST? (leave only one on its own line)

/kind feature

Description

the ability for podman pod logs -f to

• an option to display names instead of ids
• color different containers
• follow new containers started after log started
• do not exit if pod is empty (as long as pod is up, should not exit)

Steps to reproduce the issue:

podman pod create --name=pod_testlogs 
podman run --name=testlogs_loop1_1 -d --pod=pod_testlogs busybox /bin/sh -c 'for i in `seq 1 10000`; do echo "loop1: $i"; sleep 1; done'
podman run --name=testlogs_loop2_1 -d --pod=pod_testlogs busybox /bin/sh -c 'for i in `seq 1 10000`; do echo "loop2: $i"; sleep 3; done'
podman pod logs --tail=100 -f pod_testlogs

and then on another screen

podman run --name=testlogs_loop3_1 -d --pod=pod_testlogs busybox /bin/sh -c 'for i in `seq 1 10000`; do echo "loop3: $i"; sleep 3; done'

Describe the results you received:

• ids instead of names
• logs for loop3 is not followed
• exit instantly when running podman pod logs --tail=100 -f pod_testlogs after podman pod create --name=pod_testlogs

Describe the results you expected:

• away to display names and preferably colors
• logs for loop3 should be followed
• should not exit instantly when running podman pod logs --tail=100 -f pod_testlogs after podman pod create --name=pod_testlogs

Seems reasonable to me, although breaking these into multiple RFEs might make it easier to consume and deliver.
I think podman logs --names ...

Should be fairly easy to add.

multiple RFEs

thank you, I've just did that.
