Hello Everyone,
I'm testing out using journald for logging from one of my containers. I
think I configured it correctly, but I don't see anything in the path I
passed to it.
Here's the create command I used:
CreateCommand": [
"podman",
"run",
"-d",
"--name",
"postgrey",
"--pod",
"mailman",
"--volume",
"postgrey:/var/spool/postfix/postgrey:Z",
"--log-driver",
"journald",
"--log-opt",
"path=/var/log/containers/postgrey.log",
"postgrey"
],
/var/log/containers is empty:
# ls -l /var/log/containers/
total 0
Docker's docs on retrieving the logs with journalctl don't show me
anything:
journalctl CONTAINER_NAME=postgrey
-- Logs begin at Wed 2022-01-19 17:04:20 EST, end at Tue 2022-01-25
18:40:27 EST. --
-- No entries --
Incidentally, I used podman to crate the systemd unit files for the pod
and dumped them into /etc/systemd/system. I'm starting, stopping, etc
the pod using systemctl.
Using journald for logging means the container's logs get written to
the host's journal, right? If that's true, what am I doing wrong?
