How to view application specific logs while running services using docker-compose

How to view application specific logs while running services using docker-compose, without getting into each of the containers. We have microservices running in Rails, Python, Java in a single docker-compose environment. What would be a cost effective open source solution which we can use for monitoring + searching logs by the Operations team. We would want to avoid Elasticsearch for this as we don't have a big budget, appreciate your inputs

As well as the Free license mentioned in the other answer, most Elastic tools are available in apache-licensed OSS versions.

Beats agents mostly support autodiscovery in docker and docker-compose, making them really easy to use on an ongoing basis, even with short-lived containers.

It would help if you specify whether the budget constraints are around a) licensing costs, b) time and effort for your Operations team, or c) something else.

Elastic search provides free tier as well. ELK - subscriptions. You can use BASIC - FREE AND OPEN

You can use easily set up logging infrastructure using

ELK - Elastic Search, Logstash, Kibana

filebeat - Log shipper for docker containers - filebeat

metricbeat - metricbeat for docker - containers

The infrastructure would scale irrespective of how many containers you have.

You can check out some basic monitoring and logging examples here - link
