Abstract
Log information is retrieved from a log of a container running in a virtual machine in response to a request for the log information, by accessing a virtual disk of the virtual machine, reading the log of the container from the virtual disk and preparing the requested log information from the log, and transmitting the requested log information to a virtual machine (VM) management process running in a host computer of the virtual machine for the VM management process to forward to a requestor of the log information. Alternatively, log data of the container running in the virtual machine may be streamed to the VM management process over a virtual socket communication channel that is established between the virtual machine and the VM management process.
