Logs are being written to disk about docker-logging-plugin HOT 3 OPEN

Hi @Carles-Figuerola , there is a Docker environment variable called SPLUNK_LOGGING_DRIVER_JSON_LOGS that controls this logging. Set it to "false" to only send the logs to Splunk.

from docker-logging-plugin.

hey @gp510,

Many thanks for the prompt response. I changed the environment variables for docker:

# cat /proc/$(pgrep dockerd)/environ | tr '\0' '\n' | grep JSON_LOGS
SPLUNK_LOGGING_DRIVER_JSON_LOGS=false

But I still see the plugin /var/log folder increasing in size and I can still docker logs <sha>

Is there anything else I'm supposed to do other than adding the environment variable and restarting the docker daemon?

Same issue here. I expected the JSON logs are cleaned up after a container was removed, but that doesn't seem to be the case. So the option is quite dangerous and this should be mentioned in the readme. Probably the default of the ENV var should be "false" too.

How can old logs be cleaned up? Can they simple be deleted?
