/var/log/upstart/docker.log : for Ubuntu distributions still using upstart.


journalctl -u rvice : for Ubuntu 16.04+ and CentOS 7/8./var/log/messages : for RHEL and Oracle Linux./var/log/daemon.log : for Debian distributions.On the other hand, the Docker daemon is also producing some logs for you to inspect.ĭepending on the system you are running Docker on, you will find the Docker daemon logs in different places : However, in most of the cases, using the “logs” command is enough. Similarly, the Apache Web Server will redirect the logs directly to specific file descriptors (/proc/self/fd/1) on your system. One good example is the NGINX image actually redirecting access and error logs to some specific devices on your Linux system ( /dev/stdout and /dev/stderr). Some particularities may exist depending on the image used. When they are sent to an external system, you will need to have a logging driver installed for Docker to send its container logs. On Docker, container logs can either be inspected by using the “logs” command or they can be stored on an external system (like Logstash or syslog) in order to be analyzed later on. When it comes to Docker logs, you either want to inspect your container logs or the logs for the Docker daemon.
