Customize log driver output
The tag log option specifies how to format a tag that identifies the
container's log messages. By default, the system uses the first 12 characters of
the container ID. To override this behavior, specify a tag option:
$ docker run --log-driver=fluentd --log-opt fluentd-address=myhost.local:24224 --log-opt tag="mailer"
Docker supports some special template markup you can use when specifying a tag's value:
| Markup | Description | 
|---|---|
| {{.ID}} | The first 12 characters of the container ID. | 
| {{.FullID}} | The full container ID. | 
| {{.Name}} | The container name. | 
| {{.ImageID}} | The first 12 characters of the container's image ID. | 
| {{.ImageFullID}} | The container's full image ID. | 
| {{.ImageName}} | The name of the image used by the container. | 
| {{.DaemonName}} | The name of the Docker program ( docker). | 
For example, specifying a --log-opt tag="{{.ImageName}}/{{.Name}}/{{.ID}}" value yields syslog log lines like:
Aug  7 18:33:19 HOSTNAME hello-world/foobar/5790672ab6a0[9103]: Hello from Docker.At startup time, the system sets the container_name field and {{.Name}} in
the tags. If you use docker rename to rename a container, the new name isn't
reflected in the log messages. Instead, these messages continue to use the
original container name.
