  • podman container logs

    Posted on

    I am running an EL8 server hosting podman containers created with podman-compose.
    My goal is to collect the logs from the containers and podman in the host's rsyslog service.

    I have the following in my rsyslog.conf to collect traffic from journald.

    module(load="imuxsock"
    SysSock.Use="on"
    SysSock.Name="/run/systemd/journal/syslog"

    None of the logs from my containers seems to be making it to /var/log/messages or /var/log/secure.
    However using "podman logs" shows they are generating log data.

    What pieces am I missing?
    I find little on collecting podman container logs anywhere.
