+
+
+The **Logs** view provides a unified, real-time log stream from all running containers and Kubernetes nodes in Docker Desktop. Unlike the logs accessible from the [**Containers** view](container.md), the **Logs** view lets you monitor and search log output across your entire environment from a single interface. You can also use Ask Gordon to analyze log output with AI-assisted prompts.
+
+## Log entries
+
+Each log entry in the table view shows:
+
+| Column | Description |
+|---|---|
+| **Timestamp** | The date and time the log line was emitted, for example `2026-02-26 11:18:53`. |
+| **Object** | The container or node that produced the log line. |
+| **Message** | The full log message, including any status codes such as `[ OK ]`. |
+
+Selecting the expand arrow to the left of a row reveals the full message for that entry.
+
+## Search and filter logs
+
+Use the **Search** field at the top of the Logs view to find specific entries. The search bar supports:
+
+- Plain-text terms for exact match searches
+- Regular expressions (for example, `/error|warn/`)
+
+You can save your search terms for easy-access later.
+
+To refine the log stream further, select the **Filter** icon in the toolbar to open the container filter panel. From here you can:
+
+- Check individual running containers to show only their output
+- Check **Running containers** or **Stopped containers** to show or hide entire groups
+- Use **Select all** or **Clear all** to quickly toggle every container at once
+
+## Ask Gordon
+
+The Logs view integrates with [Ask Gordon](/manuals/ai/gordon/_index.md), Docker's AI assistant. Select the **Ask Gordon** button in the top-right corner of the view to open the Gordon panel, then choose a scope:
+
+- **All visible logs**: Gordon analyzes the complete log stream currently visible on screen
+- **Container**: Gordon analyzes logs from a specific container
+- **Build**: Gordon analyzes build-related log output
+
+You can type a free-form question or select one of the suggested prompts.
+
+## Display options
+
+Select the **Display options** icon in the toolbar to toggle the following:
+
+- **View build logs**: Include or exclude build-related log output in the stream
+- **Table view** — switch between a structured table layout and a plain log stream
+
+The table view is useful when you need to correlate events across multiple containers because each row clearly shows which container emitted a given message and when.
+
+## Feedback
+
+The Logs view is in active development. Select **Give feedback** at the top of the view to share suggestions or report issues.

 Pausing Docker Desktop temporarily suspends the Linux VM running Docker Engine. This saves the current state of all containers in memory and freezes all running processes, significantly reducing CPU and memory usage which is helpful for conserving battery on laptops.
