Description

When users configure a 3rd party logging driver, typically docker logs is unable to report any log output from existing containers. This makes it difficult to troubleshoot problems without having to go into the weeds of the specific 3rd party logging system to extract the logs.

We should find some way to expose some amount of historical logging information from containers regardless of what the logging configuration is, so we can rely on docker logs producing output.

Depending on the chosen model, we might want to expose a knob the user can tweak to control how much logging history is stored when a 3rd party driver that doesn't support read.
