log-opts are passed to logging-drivers as-is, so the daemon is not
aware what value-type each option takes.
For this reason, all options must be provided as a string, even if
they are used as numeric values by the logging driver.
For example, to pass the "max-file" option to the default (json-file)
logging driver, this value has to be passed as a string;
```json
{
"log-driver": "json-file",
"log-opts": {
"max-size": "10m",
"max-file": "3"
}
}
```
When passed as a _number_ (`"max-file": 3`), the daemon will invalidate
the configuration file, and fail to start;
unable to configure the Docker daemon with file /etc/docker/daemon.json: json: cannot unmarshal number into Go value of type string
This patch adds an example to the daemon.json to show these values
have to be passed as strings.

The non-reference docs have been moved!
The documentation for Docker Engine has been merged into the general documentation repo.
See the README for instructions on contributing to and building the documentation.
If you'd like to edit the current published version of the Engine docs, do it in the master branch here: https://github.com/docker/docker.github.io/tree/master/engine
If you need to document the functionality of an upcoming Engine release,
use the vnext-engine branch:
https://github.com/docker/docker.github.io/tree/vnext-engine/engine
The reference docs have been left in docker/docker (this repo), which remains the place to edit them.
The docs in the general repo are open-source and we appreciate your feedback and pull requests!
