github.com/pwn-term/docker@v0.0.0-20210616085119-6e977cce2565/cli/man/src/container/logs.md (about) 1 The **docker container logs** command batch-retrieves whatever logs are present for 2 a container at the time of execution. This does not guarantee execution 3 order when combined with a docker run (i.e., your run may not have generated 4 any logs at the time you execute docker container logs). 5 6 The **docker container logs --follow** command combines commands **docker container logs** and 7 **docker attach**. It will first return all logs from the beginning and 8 then continue streaming new output from the container's stdout and stderr. 9 10 **Warning**: This command works only for the **json-file** or **journald** 11 logging drivers. 12 13 The `--since` and `--until` options can be Unix timestamps, date formatted timestamps, 14 or Go duration strings (e.g. `10m`, `1h30m`) computed relative to the client machine's 15 time. Supported formats for date formatted time stamps include RFC3339Nano, 16 RFC3339, `2006-01-02T15:04:05`, `2006-01-02T15:04:05.999999999`, 17 `2006-01-02Z07:00`, and `2006-01-02`. The local timezone on the client will be 18 used if you do not provide either a `Z` or a `+-00:00` timezone offset at the 19 end of the timestamp. When providing Unix timestamps enter 20 seconds[.nanoseconds], where seconds is the number of seconds that have elapsed 21 since January 1, 1970 (midnight UTC/GMT), not counting leap seconds (aka Unix 22 epoch or Unix time), and the optional .nanoseconds field is a fraction of a 23 second no more than nine digits long. You can combine the `--since` or `--until` 24 options with either or both of the `--follow` or `--tail` options. 25 26 The `docker container logs --details` command will add on extra attributes, such as 27 environment variables and labels, provided to `--log-opt` when creating the 28 container. 29 30 In order to retrieve logs before a specific point in time, run: 31 32 ```bash 33 $ docker run --name test -d busybox sh -c "while true; do $(echo date); sleep 1; done" 34 $ date 35 Tue 14 Nov 2017 16:40:00 CET 36 $ docker logs -f --until=2s test 37 Tue 14 Nov 2017 16:40:00 CET 38 Tue 14 Nov 2017 16:40:01 CET 39 Tue 14 Nov 2017 16:40:02 CET 40 ```
