Typically the default settings are okay, but in cases where these settings need to be changed we recommend that customers contact their internal Linux support teams and/or OS vendor (typically Redhat) to figure out the optimal settings for their environment. There are ways to configure journald on the host system to manage the journal size and rotation settings, and it can be done without having to redeploy the conjur container. This can also be done with json-file but the output isn’t as clean and the overhead of running a file monitor on the json files is usually more resource intensive than configuring journald/rsyslogd. We chose to recommend journald because it is the only one of the three that support both docker logs for local troubleshooting on the host and can be configured to forward log messages to rsyslogd to be sent to remote syslog endpoints (such as a SIEM).
#Docker daemon logs windows#
Consult the official Docker documentation for the locations of Docker Daemon log files: Windows / OSX /Docker Machine via Docker Toolbox. The location of the Docker daemon log varies depending on the system. sending a signal to docker to reopen the log file and let external daemon to handle the heavy liftings would be great. you may gzip the rotated log, send it to somewhere, or even process it right after rotation.
From that site: "When using Docker Community Engine, the docker logs command is only available on the following drivers: local, json-file, journald" Docker daemon log locations depend on the operating system. in my 2cents, log rotation itself can be very complicated due to usage of logs.
We give journals as our recommendation based on the limitations / abilities in Docker Community Edition (CE), which can be found at.
