How to find the pod that led to an error in GKE

Question

If I look at my logs in GCP logs, I see for instance that I got a request that gave 500

  log_message: "Method: some_cloud_goo.Endpoint failed: INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR"   

I would like to quickly go to that pod and do a kubectl logs on it. But I did not find a way to do this.

I am fairly new to k8s and GKE, any way to traceback the pod that handled that request?

You could run command "kubectl get pods " on each node to check the status of all pods and could figure out accordingly by running for detail description of an error " kubectl describe pod pod-name"
