#### <a name="log-format"></a> Daemon logging format
The `--log-format` option or "log-format" option in the [daemon configuration file](#daemon-configuration-file)
lets you set the format for logs produced by the daemon. The logging format should
only be configured either through the `--log-format` command line option or
through the "log-format" field in the configuration file; using both
the command-line option and the "log-format" field in the configuration
file produces an error. If this option is not set, the default is "text".
The following example configures the daemon through the `--log-format` command
line option to use `json` formatted logs;
```console
$ dockerd --log-format=json
# ...
{"level":"info","msg":"API listen on /var/run/docker.sock","time":"2024-09-16T11:06:08.558145428Z"}
```
The following example shows a `daemon.json` configuration file with the
"log-format" set;
```json
{
"log-format": "json"
}
```
