Your organization has a centralized logging solution, such as Splunk. Will this configure a Docker container to export container logs to the logging…

= The command docker logs  will not configure a Docker container to export container

logs to the logging solution. This command is used to fetch the logs of a container from the Docker

daemon, not to send them to an external service1. To export container logs to a logging solution,

such as Splunk, you need to use a Docker logging driver2. A logging driver is a way of plugging into

the Docker engine to forward logs to a specific destination2. Docker supports several built-in logging

drivers, including one for Splunk3. To use the Splunk logging driver, you need to specify the --log-

driver splunk option when running a container, and provide some additional options, such as the

Splunk HTTP Event Collector token and URL3. Alternatively, you can configure the Splunk logging

driver as the default logging driver for the Docker daemon by editing

the daemon.json file4. Reference:
