Extended description
The docker service logs command batch-retrieves logs present at the time of execution.
The docker service logs command can be used with either the name or ID of a
service, or with the ID of a task. If a service is passed, it will display logs
for all of the containers in that service. If a task is passed, it will only
display logs from that particular task.
Note: This command is only functional for services that are started with the
json-fileorjournaldlogging driver.
For more information about selecting and configuring logging drivers, refer to Configure logging drivers.
The docker service logs --follow command will continue streaming the new output from
the service’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 service logs --timestamps command will add an RFC3339Nano timestamp
, 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 service logs --details command will add on extra attributes, such as
environment variables and labels, provided to --log-opt when creating the
service.
The --since option shows only the service 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.
