That's an RBAC error. The user had no permissions to see logs. If you have a user with cluster-admin permissions you can fix this error with

kubectl create clusterrolebinding the-boss --user system:anonymous --clusterrole cluster-admin

Note: Not a good idea to give an anonymous user cluster-admin role. Will fix the issue though.

The above error means your apiserver doesn't have the credentials (kubelet cert and key) to authenticate the kubelet's log/exec commands and hence the Forbidden error message.

You need to provide --kubelet-client-certificate=<path_to_cert> and --kubelet-client-key=<path_to_key> to your apiserver, this way apiserver authenticate the kubelet with the certficate and key pair.

For more information, have a look at:
