 ## Overview
 
-Prior to Docker Engine 20.10, the [`docker logs` command](../../../engine/reference/commandline/logs.md)
-could only be used with logging drivers that supported for containers using the
-`local`, `json-file`, or `journald` log drivers. However, many third party logging
-drivers had no support for locally reading logs using `docker logs`
-
-This created multiple problems when attempting to gather log data in an
-automated and standard way. Log information could only be accessed and viewed
-through the third-party solution in the format specified by that
-third-party tool.
-
-Starting with Docker Engine 20.10, you can use `docker logs` to read container
-logs regardless of the configured logging driver or plugin. This capability,
-referred to as "dual logging", allows you to use `docker logs` to read container
-logs locally in a consistent format, regardless of the log driver used, because
-the engine is configured to log information to the “local” logging driver. Refer
-to [Configure the default logging driver](configure.md) for additional information.
-
-Dual logging uses the [`local`](local.md) logging driver to act as cache for
-reading the latest logs of your containers. By default, the cache has log-file
-rotation enabled, and is limited to a maximum of 5 files of 20MB each (before
