How to enable docker applications logs?

Do we need to change anything in our docker file to enable to logs for aikaan?

Nothing additional needs to be done by the device to enable docker logs. It is pulled by default.

It could be a controller (AiKaan server) specific configs, that your admin may have disabled, to reduce too much log traffic.

You can have a look at $AIKAAN_INSTALL_DIR/etc/telegraf.conf to see if docker_logs is enabled.

Hello @chetansk . after installing aikaan agent by default there is no docker_logs flag inside /opt/etc/telegraf.conf

Hi @kishan ,

Can you please confirm? I can see the following line in my /opt/aikaan/etc/telegraf.conf [Please note, in your comment you are referring to /opt/etc/telegraf.conf)

[[inputs.docker_log]]

Thanks
