A comma-separated list of logging-related labels this daemon accepts. Specify rfc3164 for the RFC-3164 compatible format, rfc5424 for RFC-5424 compatible format, or rfc5424micro for RFC-5424 compatible format with microsecond timestamp resolution.Īpplies when starting the Docker daemon.

If not specified the local UNIX syslog format is used, without a specified hostname. Refer to the log tag option documentation for customizing the log tag format. By default, Docker uses the first 12 characters of the container ID to tag log messages. Ignored if the address protocol is not tcp+tls.Ī string that is appended to the APP-NAME in the syslog message.
#Docker syslog format verification#
If set to true, TLS verification is skipped when connecting to the syslog daemon. log-opt syslog-tls-key=/etc/ca-certificates/custom/key.pem Ignored if the address protocol is not tcp+tls. log-opt syslog-tls-cert=/etc/ca-certificates/custom/cert.pem The absolute path to the TLS certificate file. log-opt syslog-tls-ca-cert=/etc/ca-certificates/custom/ca.pem The absolute path to the trust certificates signed by the CA. Can be the number or name for any valid syslog facility.

If the transport is tcp, udp, or tcp+tls, the default port is 514. The URI specifier may be ://host:port, unix://path, or unixgram://path. The address of an external syslog server. They can also be set on a givenĬontainer by adding a -log-opt = flag for each option when Key-value pairs to the log-opts JSON array. They can be set as defaults in the daemon.json, by adding them as The following logging options are supported as options for the syslog loggingĭriver. $ docker run \ -log-driver syslog -log-opt syslog-address =udp://1.2.3.4:1111 \ The syslog-address options supports both UDP and TCP

To use the syslog driver as the default logging driver, set the log-driverĪnd log-opt keys to appropriate values in the daemon.json file, which is The format is defined in RFC 5424 and Docker’s syslog driver implements theĪBNF reference in the following way: TIMESTAMP SP HOSTNAME SP APP-NAME SP PROCID SP MSGID
