I am a DevOps engineer and my work is to manage a docker environment under this I need to access the log files of a running container named “web_server” to diagnose the issues. How can I log into the “web_server” easily?
In order to access docker log into running container named web_server, and follow several steps:-
Identify the container ID by using the command:-
“docker ps”Follow the above command to get the location of the container named web_server and its ID or name.
Access the container logs by using the command:-
“ Docker logs web_server”This above command will retrieve the logs from the container of “web_server”.
Tail the logs into real-time by using “-f” flag. Here is how you can do it:- “Docker logs -f web_server”Specify the timeframe of logs by using “—since” and “—until” flags:-
“docker logs – since= “2023-11-01T00:00:00” – until=” 2023-11-30T23:59:59” web_serverYou can replace the timestamps according to your requirements.
