Docker provides two modes for delivering messages from the container to the log driver
(default) direct, blocking delivery from container to driver non-blocking delivery that stores log messages in an intermediate per-container buffer for consumption by driver
The non-blocking message delivery mode prevents applications from blocking due to logging back pressure. Applications are likely to fail in unexpected ways when STDERR or STDOUT streams block.
> [!WARNING] > > When the buffer is full, new messages will not be enqueued. Dropping messages is often preferred to blocking the > log-writing process of an application.
The mode log option controls whether to use the blocking (default) or non-blocking message delivery.
The max-buffer-size controls the size of the buffer used for intermediate message storage when mode is set to non-blocking. The default is 1m meaning 1 MB (1 million byt
