title: Managing Spring Cloud Dataflow Server logs
body: <p>I am deploying the spring cloud dataflow server using docker. I have created a data processing pipeline inside the dataflow server by deploying couple of spring boot application as source, processor and sink. In order to access the log of each service, I have to either tail it from inside the docker continer ( bash ) or I have to copy it from docker container to the local disk. </p>
  
  <p>I want to push these logs to kafka using log4j-kafka appender for later analysis. I am already doing this for other services running outside the spring cloud dataflow. Is there a way to manage logs of services running inside the spring cloud dataflow using log4j ? </p>
