# logs

|
Usage: docker logs [OPTIONS] CONTAINER
|
|
|
|
Fetch the logs of a container
|
|
|
|
Options:
|
|
--details Show extra details provided to logs
|
|
-f, --follow Follow log output
|
|
--help Print usage
|
|
--since string Show logs since timestamp
|
|
--tail string Number of lines to show from the end of the logs (default "all")
|
|
-t, --timestamps Show timestamps
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The `docker logs` command batch-retrieves logs present at the time of execution.
|
|
|
|
> **Note**: this command is only functional for containers that are started with
|
|
> the `json-file` or `journald` logging driver.
|
|
|
|
For more information about selecting and configuring login-drivers, refer to
|
|
[Configure logging drivers](https://docs.docker.com/engine/admin/logging/overview/).
|
|
|
|
The `docker logs --follow` command will continue streaming the new output from
|
|
the container's `STDOUT` and `STDERR`.
|
|
|
|
Passing a negative number or a non-integer to `--tail` is invalid and the
|
|
value is set to `all` in that case.
|
|
|
|
The `docker logs --timestamps` command will add an [RFC3339Nano timestamp](https://golang.org/pkg/time/#pkg-constants)
|
|
, for example `2014-09-16T06:17:46.000000000Z`, to each
|
|
log entry. To ensure that the timestamps are aligned the
|
|
nano-second part of the timestamp will be padded with zero when necessary.
|
|
|
|
The `docker logs --details` command will add on extra attributes, such as
|
|
environment variables and labels, provided to `--log-opt` when creating the
|
|
container.
|
|
|
|
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`). Besides RFC3339 date
|
|
format you may also use RFC3339Nano, `2006-01-02T15:04:05`,
|
|
`2006-01-02T15:04:05.999999999`, `2006-01-02Z07:00`, and `2006-01-02`. The local
|
|
timezone on the client will be used if you do not provide either a `Z` or a
|
|
`+-00:00` timezone offset at the end of the timestamp. When providing Unix
|
|
timestamps enter seconds[.nanoseconds], where seconds is the number of seconds
|
|
that have elapsed since January 1, 1970 (midnight UTC/GMT), not counting leap
|
|
seconds (aka Unix epoch or Unix time), and the optional .nanoseconds field is a
|
|
fraction of a second no more than nine digits long. You can combine the
|
|
`--since` option with either or both of the `--follow` or `--tail` options.
