docker-container-logs - Fetch the logs of a container

       The  dockercontainerlogs command batch-retrieves whatever logs are present for a container at the time
       of execution. This does not guarantee execution order when combined with a docker run (i.e., your run may
       not have generated any logs at the time you execute docker container logs).

       The dockercontainerlogs--follow command combines commands dockercontainerlogs and dockerattach.  It
       will first return all logs from the beginning and then continue streaming new output from the container's
       stdout and stderr.

       Warning: This command works only for the json-file or journald logging drivers.

       The --since and --until options can be Unix timestamps, date formatted timestamps, or Go duration strings
       supported by ParseDuration ⟨https://pkg.go.dev/time#ParseDuration⟩ (e.g. 10m, 1h30m) computed relative to
       the client machine's time. Supported formats for date formatted time stamps include RFC3339Nano, RFC3339,
       2006-01-02T15:04:05,  2006-01-02T15:04:05.999999999, 2006-01-02T07:00, and 2006-01-02. The local timezone
       on the client will be used if you do not provide either a Z or a +-00:00 timezone offset at  the  end  of
       the  timestamp.   When providing Unix timestamps enter seconds[.nanoseconds], where seconds is the number
       of seconds that have elapsed since January 1, 1970 (midnight UTC/GMT), not counting  leap   seconds  (aka
       Unix epoch or Unix time), and the optional .nanoseconds field is a fraction of a second no more than nine
       digits long. You can combine the --since or --until options with either or both of the --follow or --tail
       options.

       The  dockercontainerlogs--details command will add on extra attributes, such as environment variables
       and labels, provided to --log-opt when creating the container.

       In order to retrieve logs before a specific point in time, run:

       $ docker run --name test -d busybox sh -c "while true; do $(echo date); sleep 1; done"
       $ date
       Tue 14 Nov 2017 16:40:00 CET
       $ docker logs -f --until=2s test
       Tue 14 Nov 2017 16:40:00 CET
       Tue 14 Nov 2017 16:40:01 CET
       Tue 14 Nov 2017 16:40:02 CET
