title: Logentries logging driver
description: Describes how to use the logentries logging driver.
keywords: logentries, docker, logging, driver
---

The `logentries` logging driver sends container logs to the
[Logentries](https://logentries.com/) server.

## Usage

Some options are supported by specifying `--log-opt` as many times as needed:

- `logentries-token`: specify the logentries log set token

Configure the default logging driver by passing the
`--log-driver` option to the Docker daemon:

```bash
$ dockerd --log-driver=logentries
```

To set the logging driver for a specific container, pass the
`--log-driver` option to `docker run`:

```bash
$ docker run --log-driver=logentries ...
```

Before using this logging driver, you'll need to create a new Log Set in the
Logentries web interface. Then, you'll need to pass the token of that log set
to Docker:

```bash
$ docker run --log-driver=logentries --log-opt logentries-token=abcd1234-12ab-34cd-5678-0123456789ab
```

## Options

Users can use the `--log-opt NAME=VALUE` flag to specify additional Logentries logging driver options.

### logentries-token

You need to provide your log set token for logentries driver to work:

```bash
$ docker run --log-driver=logentries --log-opt logentries-token=abcd1234-12ab-34cd-5678-0123456789ab
```
