Abstract
The disclosed computer-implemented method for logging processes within containers may include (i) detecting creation of a new container that comprises a lightweight platform-independent filesystem capable of executing at least one process that is isolated from a host computing device that hosts the container, (ii) launching, within the new container, a monitoring process that maintains a log of events associated with a process that will be executing within the new container, (iii) recording to the log, by the monitoring process, data about at least one event associated with the process executing within the container, and (iv) exporting, by the monitoring process, the log to the host computing device that hosts the new container. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
