## 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. your run may not have generated
any logs at the time you execute podman logs).
## OPTIONS
#### **--follow**, **-f**
Follow log output. Default is false.
Note: If you are following a container which is removed `podman container rm`
or removed on exit `podman run --rm ...`, then there is a chance that the log
file will be removed before `podman logs` reads the final content.
#### **--latest**, **-l**
Instead of providing the container name or ID, use the last created container. If you use methods other than Podman
to run containers such as CRI-O, the last started container could be from either of those methods. (This option is not available with the remote Podman client)
#### **--names**, **-n**
Output the container name 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.
#### **--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.
#### **--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
## EXAMPLE
To view a container's logs:
```
podman logs -t b3f2436bdb978c1d33b1387afb5d7ba7e3243ed2ce908db431ac0069da86cb45

To view only the last two lines in container's log:
```
podman logs --tail 2 b3f2436bdb97

To view all containers logs:
```
podman logs -t --since 0 myserver

To view a containers logs since a certain time:
```
podman logs -t --since 2017-08-07T10:10:09.055837383-04:00 myserver
1:M 07 Aug 14:10:09.055 # Server can't set maximum open files to 10032 because of OS error: Operation not permitted.

```
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. If you need higher maxclients increase 'ulimit -n'.
```
To view a container's logs until 30 minutes ago:
```
podman logs --until 30m myserver
