How do I set up logging for my Docker containers?

To set up logging for your Docker containers, you can use the built-in logging drivers. You can specify a logging driver when you run a container using the --log-driver option.

What are the different logging drivers available?

Docker supports several logging drivers, including json-file, syslog, journald, and fluentd. Each has its own use cases.

Can I configure the logging options for a specific driver?

Yes, you can configure options for each logging driver using the --log-opt flag when you run a container. For example, with json-file, you can set options like max-size and max-file.

How can I view the logs of a running container?

You can view the logs of a running container using the command docker logs <container_id>. This will show you the logs generated by that container.
