Elastic Logging Plugin for Docker now supports docker logs commandedit

Starting with version 7.9, the Elastic Logging Plugin for Docker fully supports the docker logs command. The plugin maintains a local copy of logs that can be read without a connection to Elasticsearch. The plugin mounts the /var/lib/docker directory on the host to write logs to /var/log/containers. For more information, see the Elastic Logging Plugin for Docker docs.
