Need help with disabling docker's windows event viewer logs

Windows 10 Pro
Docker for Windows - windows containers - Version 17.12.0-ce-win47 (15139)

I’m seeing docker’s debug log in windows event viewer every 10 seconds.

debug: Calling GET /v1.34/containers/json?limit=0

I tried setting the C:\ProgramData\Docker\tmp-d4w\daemon.json debug: false but as soon as I restart the docker, it resets back to debug: true. I also tried setting the debug settings in C:\Program Files\Docker\Docker\resources\windows-daemon-options.json to false but had no effect.

I checked to see if the docker engine service has any log switch but didn’t find any. The executable path is: “C:\Program Files\Docker\Docker\Resources\dockerd.exe” --run-service --service-name docker -G domain\myusername --config-file C:\ProgramData\Docker\tmp-d4w\daemon.json

Docker continues to fill up the event viewer logs. No container is running. I like to disable this behavior and only log when I am doing diagnostics. Can someone help me with disabling the docker debug log?

Thanks

I have about the same problem with version 18.03.0-ce-win59 (16762). I get the same message (debug: Calling GET /v1.34/containers/json?limit=0) posted every 20 seconds.

Any update on this?

The configuration file you’re looking for is C:\ProgramData\Docker\config\daemon.json. Set debug to false and restart.

It turns out the debug option really wasn’t the problem. I suspect this may be related to healthcheck events from the containers but the solution turned out to be setting the log-level value to “warn” ("info by default) in daemon.json.
