What are Container Logs?

Container logs capture the output from your containerized application, including:

• Application Output: Messages written to stdout and stderr by your

application

• Error Messages: Runtime errors, exceptions, and error conditions

- System Information: Container startup, shutdown, and system-level events

• Debug Information: Diagnostic messages and debugging output

Best Practices for Application Logging

Optimize Log Output

• Use appropriate log levels to control volume and costs

- Avoid excessive debug logging in production

• Structure logs for easy analysis

- Balance detail with performance impact

Security and Privacy

Never Log:

• Passwords or authentication tokens

- Credit card numbers or financial data

• Personal identification information

- API keys or secrets
