There’s some in the event viever. You can also start the daemon in interactive debug mode like this:

dockerd -D

Service Fabric container deployment crashing docker daemon while leaving dockerd.exe still in memory. How do I find out logs from docker service and why it crashed/stopped?

PS C:\Users\Administrator> get-process dockerd

Handles  NPM(K)    PM(K)      WS(K)     CPU(s)     Id  SI ProcessName
-------  ------    -----      -----     ------     --  -- -----------
    232      17    12276      25260       0.14   7388   0 dockerd


PS C:\Users\Administrator> get-service docker

Status   Name               DisplayName
------   ----               -----------
Stopped  Docker             docker

After further debugging I can see Service Fabric stopping docker service and launching it’s own dockerd with following command line below. How can I pull logs off that instance?

“dockerd” -H localhost:2375

its also handy to use | format-table -autosize -wrap so you can see all the test via the output, or use the | format-table -autosize | out-file c:\temp\logs.txt once exported use notepad.exe to read the logs. hope i have added to an all ready good response.
