Docker Log Files
Chapter 14 ■ Configuring Logging
By default the Docker containers log file directories are in the /var/lib/docker/containers directory. CD
(change directory) to the /var/lib/docker/containers directory and list the files and directories. A log
directory exists for each of the Docker containers, as shown in Figure 14-6.
Figure 14-6. Docker container log directories
To access a container directory we need to set permissions with chmod +x as shown in Figure 14-7. Then
CD to the container directory.
Figure 14-7. Setting Permissions on a Docker container log directory
List the files in the container directory as shown in Figure 14-8. The containerid-json.log file is the
log file generated by the container.
