Hi @regojoyson, this is what you are looking for: https://docs.docker.com/config/containers/logging/configure/

Additional information that will impact exactly how you implement it:

  • What platform are you running on?
  • How are you starting the broker? (docker run? docker-compose up?)

You can see where the log files are being stored with this command:

docker inspect -f {{.LogPath}} zeebe_broker

Where zeebe-broker is the name of your Docker container.

If you are running on a Mac or Windows, then the file path is to the filesystem inside the Moby Ubuntu VM, rather than the local filesystem. To get to that filesystem, you need to run:

docker run -it --rm --privileged --pid=host justincormack/nsenter1

This will open a shell in the Ubuntu VM, and you can see the log file(s) there.
