Docker can set different log drivers for its logging mechanism it can be json file, syslog, fluentd and so on. The default is set to json-file and these log files are located in /var/lib/docker/containers/. You can check type of your log in docker using:

$ docker inspect -f '{{.HostConfig.LogConfig.Type}}' <CONTAINER>
json-file

Instead of <CONTAINER> put your currently running container id.
