Docker - logs of a container

Docker

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 -f flag causes the docker logs command to act like the tail -f command and watch the container’s standard output.

docker-compose

docker-compose logs --tail="10" -f Service

Tail

Log tail of the last 10 line with timestamp

docker logs -f --tail 10 -t oraclexe
