# NAME
docker-logs - Fetch the logs of a container
# SYNOPSIS
**docker logs**
[**-f**|**--follow**[=*false*]]
[**--help**]
[**--since**[=*SINCE*]]
[**-t**|**--timestamps**[=*false*]]
[**--tail**[=*"all"*]]
CONTAINER
# DESCRIPTION
The **docker logs** command batch-retrieves whatever logs are present for
a container at the time of execution. This does not guarantee execution
order when combined with a docker run (i.e., your run may not have generated
any logs at the time you execute docker logs).
The **docker logs --follow** command combines commands **docker logs** and
**docker attach**. It will first return all logs from the beginning and
then continue streaming new output from the containers stdout and stderr.
**Warning**: This command works only for the **json-file** or **journald**
logging drivers.
# OPTIONS
**--help**
Print usage statement
**-f**, **--follow**=*true*|*false*
Follow log output. The default is *false*.
**--since**=""
Show logs since timestamp
**-t**, **--timestamps**=*true*|*false*
Show timestamps. The default is *false*.
**--tail**="all"
Output the specified number of lines at the end of logs (defaults to all logs)
The `--since` option shows only the container logs generated after
a given date. You can specify the date as an RFC 3339 date, a UNIX
timestamp, or a Go duration string (e.g. `1m30s`, `3h`). Docker computes
the date relative to the client machines time. You can combine
the `--since` option with either or both of the `--follow` or `--tail` options.
