Script for connecting Erlang Observer to remote node hosted in Kubernetes

erl-observe.sh

#!/bin/bash
# This script provides easy way to debug remote Erlang nodes that is running in a kubernetes cluster.
# Usage: ./erl-observe.sh -l app=my_all -n default -c erlang_cookie
#
# Don't forget to include `:runtime_tools` in your mix.exs application dependencies.
