NAME
podman-logs - Display the logs of one or more containers
SYNOPSIS
podman logs [options] container [container...]
podman container logs [options] container [container...]
DESCRIPTION
The podman logs command batch-retrieves whatever logs are present for one or more containers at the time
of execution. This does not guarantee execution order when combined with podman run (i.e. the run may
not have generated any logs at the time podman logs was executed).
OPTIONS
--color
Output the containers with different colors in the log.
--follow, -f
Follow log output. Default is false.
Note: When following a container which is removed by podman container rm or removed on exit (podman run
--rm ...), there is a chance that the log file is removed before podman logs reads the final content.
--latest, -l
Instead of providing the container name or ID, use the last created container. Note: the last started
container can be from other users of Podman on the host machine. (This option is not available with the
remote Podman client, including Mac and Windows (excluding WSL2) machines)
--names, -n
Output the container names instead of the container IDs in the log.
--since=TIMESTAMP
Show logs since TIMESTAMP. The --since option can be Unix timestamps, date formatted timestamps, or Go
duration strings (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, 2006-01-02Z07:00, and 2006-01-02.
--tail=LINES
Output the specified number of LINES at the end of the logs. LINES must be an integer. Defaults to -1,
which prints all lines
--timestamps, -t
Show timestamps in the log outputs. The default is false
--until=TIMESTAMP
Show logs until TIMESTAMP. The --until option can be Unix timestamps, date formatted timestamps, or Go
duration strings (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, 2006-01-02Z07:00, and 2006-01-02.

To view a container's logs generated in the last 10 minutes:
podman logs --since 10m myserver
# Server can't set maximum open files to 10032 because of OS error: Operation not permitted.
# Current maximum open files is 4096. maxclients has been reduced to 4064 to compensate for low ulimit, Increase 'ulimit -n' when higher maxclients are required.
To view a container's logs until 30 minutes ago:
podman logs --until 30m myserver
