How do I configure logging drivers in Docker Compose?

You can configure logging drivers in Docker Compose by specifying the logging key in your service definition. For example:

version: '3'
services:
  app:
    image: myapp
    logging:
      driver: 'json-file'
      options:
        max-size: '10m'
        max-file: '3'

What are the different logging drivers available?

Docker supports several logging drivers, including json-file, syslog, journald, gelf, and fluentd. Each has its own configuration options.

Can I use multiple logging drivers?

No, each service can only use one logging driver at a time. However, you can configure different services to use different logging drivers.

How do I view the logs from my Docker containers?

You can view logs using the command docker logs <container_id>. If you're using a logging driver like json-file, you can also access the log files directly on the host.
