suppose we deployed elasticsearch cluster in GKE with 2 data-ingest and 2 master pods. When I check the kubectl logs , I am able to see similar logs for both master and data-ingest. Is console logs will be similar for both ?

Each log message includes the name of the node that logged it. You will need to keep track of the names and roles of your nodes elsewhere, or use a naming convention that indicates their roles.
