## Description
The `docker service logs` command batch-retrieves logs present at the time of execution.
> **Note**: This is a cluster management command, and must be executed on a swarm
> manager node. To learn about managers and workers, refer to the [Swarm mode
> section](https://docs.docker.com/engine/swarm/) in the documentation.
The `docker service logs` command can be used with either the name or ID of a
service, or with the ID of a task. If a service is passed, it will display logs
for all of the containers in that service. If a task is passed, it will only
display logs from that particular task.
> **Note**: This command is only functional for services that are started with
> the `json-file` or `journald` logging driver.
For more information about selecting and configuring logging drivers, refer to
[Configure logging drivers](https://docs.docker.com/engine/admin/logging/overview/).
The `docker service logs --follow` command will continue streaming the new output from
the service's `STDOUT` and `STDERR`.
Passing a negative number or a non-integer to `--tail` is invalid and the
value is set to `all` in that case.
The `docker service logs --timestamps` command will add an [RFC3339Nano timestamp](https://golang.org/pkg/time/#pkg-constants)
, 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.
The `docker service logs --details` command will add on extra attributes, such as
environment variables and labels, provided to `--log-opt` when creating the
service.
The `--since` option shows only the service 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
format you may also use RFC3339Nano, `2006-01-02T15:04:05`,
`2006-01-02T15:04:05.999999999`, `2006-01-02Z07:00`, and `2006-01-02`. The local
timezone on the client will be used if you do not provide either a `Z` or a
`+-00:00` timezone offset at the end of the timestamp. When providing Unix
timestamps enter seconds[.nanoseconds], where seconds is the number of seconds
that have elapsed since January 1, 1970 (midnight UTC/GMT), not counting leap
seconds (aka Unix epoch or Unix time), and the optional .nanoseconds field is a
fraction of a second no more than nine digits long. You can combine the
`--since` option with either or both of the `--follow` or `--tail` options.
