Configuring Logging Drivers (Engine)

Configure logging drivers

The container can have a different logging driver than the Docker daemon. Use the --log-driver=VALUE with the docker run command to configure the container’s logging driver. If the --log-driver option is not set, docker uses the default (json-file) logging driver. The following options are supported:

Driver Description
none Disables any logging for the container. docker logs won’t be available with this driver.
json-file Default logging driver for Docker. Writes JSON messages to file.
syslog Syslog logging driver for Docker. Writes log messages to syslog.
journald Journald logging driver for Docker. Writes log messages to journal
