Standard error is the conventional process stream for diagnostic and error output.
- How it is used
- Uses stderr as a process output channel that Docker collects for container diagnostics and logs.
- How deep it goes
- Explains process streams, foreground behavior, Docker collection, JSON records, and retained log files without detailing application-level error handling.
- Examples
- Demonstrates a foreground time-printing container, detached execution, docker logs, retained output, and JSON stream records.
- What you can do after
- Operate Docker logging by running containers, retrieving stderr-inclusive logs, and inspecting retained log storage.

- Examples
- Demonstrates selected-container logs, combined multi-container logs, and a failed container diagnosed with kubectl describe.
