Docker includes multiple logging mechanisms to help you get information from
running containers and services. These mechanisms are called logging
drivers.
Docker includes multiple logging mechanisms to help you
[get information from running containers and services](/engine/admin/logging/view_container_logs.md).
These mechanisms are called logging drivers.
Each Docker daemon has a default logging driver, which each container uses
unless you configure it to use a different logging driver.

The `docker logs` command shows information logged by a running container. The
information that is logged and the format of the log depends almost entirely on
the container's endpoint command.
`docker service logs` command shows information logged by all containers
participating in a service. The information that is logged and the format of the
log depends almost entirely on the container's endpoint command.
By default, `docker logs` shows the command's output just as it would appear if
you ran the command interactively in a terminal. UNIX and Linux commands
typically open three I/O streams when they run, called `STDIN`, `STDOUT`, and
`STDERR`. `STDIN` is the commmand's input stream, which may include input from
the keyboard or input from another command. `STDOUT` is usually a command's
normal output, and `STDERR` is typically used to output error messages. By
default, `docker logs` shows the command's `STDOUT` and `STDERR`. To read more
about I/O and Linux, see the
