I installed tutum/ubuntu in local vm's docker.
When I login to ubuntu and run below command.
logger "Test Logging"
I can't find the file where this logged in. In my local system I can see the system.log or syslog or messages file in /var/log. But when I check /var/log in container, I can't find any file like this.
root@fbc4ae457ad9:~# ls -al /var/log/
total 316
drwxrwxr-x 6 root syslog 4096 Jun 20 16:49 .

drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Apr 11 2014 upstart
-rw-rw-r-- 1 root utmp 1920 Jun 20 16:53 wtmp
I check in upstart and other directory, but all are empty.
Which file I have to check for systemlog ?
There is no rsyslogd installed by default, nor in this image you are using.
If you wish to utilize rsyslogd in your docker container, you should install/configure it by your self via Dockerfile first.
RUN apt-get -y install rsyslog
You will probably need supervisord as well to have all your processes started in container.
