Not able to see Docker container logs for a failed allocation

[Thomas Stringer]

Good afternoon, I hope all is well! Hopefully this is the right place to ask this question. I'm new to Nomad.

I've deployed a job to a Nomad cluster. The job status (retrieved with `$ nomad status <job_name>`) indicates that an allocation was created. When I run `$ nomad alloc status <alloc_id>` I see the error message:

Exit Code: 1, Exit Message: "Docker container exited with non-zero exit code: 1"

Makes sense, the container failed. But I can't seem to find any way to get the container/application logs. I ran `$ nomad alloc logs <alloc_id>` and `$ nomad logs <alloc_id>` and I get an empty return set.

In short, I have absolutely nothing to troubleshoot this failed container off of (it runs fine outside of Nomad. I have no doubt the container is appropriately failing, I just want to know why). What other way can I troubleshoot this issue? I'm at a bit of a loss at the moment, no doubt because of my lack of familiarity with Nomad at this point.

Thanks in advance for any and all help!
