## Examples
### <a name="follow"></a> Stream log output (-f, --follow)
The `docker logs --follow` command will continue streaming the new output from
the container's `STDOUT` and `STDERR`.
### <a name="tail"></a> Retrieve the last logs (-n, --tail)
Passing a negative number or a non-integer to `--tail` is invalid and the
value is set to `all` in that case.
### <a name="timestamps"></a> Retrieve logs with timestamps (-t, --timestamps)
The `docker logs --timestamps` command will add an [RFC3339Nano timestamp](https://pkg.go.dev/time#RFC3339Nano)
, for example `2014-09-16T06:17:46.000000000Z`, to each
log entry. To ensure that the timestamps are aligned the
nano-second part of the timestamp will be padded with zero when necessary.
### <a name="details"></a> Retrieve logs with additional attributes (--details)
The `docker logs --details` command will add on extra attributes, such as
environment variables and labels, provided to `--log-opt` when creating the
container.
### <a name="since"></a> Retrieve logs generated since a specific point in time (--since)
The `--since` option shows only the container logs generated after
a given date. You can specify the date as an RFC 3339 date, a UNIX
timestamp, or a Go duration string (e.g. `1m30s`, `3h`). Besides RFC3339 date
