I have a docker container under Windows Server 2016.
The container is based on image: microsoft/iis
I can get the ip address of the container with:
docker inspect -f "{{ .NetworkSettings.Networks.nat.IPAddress }}" my-running-site How can I connect to it via the Event Viewer on the windows host?

Run a Windows container using Windows Admin Center First, open the container host you want to manage, and in the Tools pane, select the Containers extension. Then, select the Images tab inside the Container extension under Container Host. In the Pull Container Image settings, provide the image URL and the tag.
You can run the container in foreground mode so you will able to see log. -it keep the container running in foreground as a result you will able to see your container logs. You will able to see live logs same like running application in terminal.
The docker logs command shows information logged by a running container. The docker service logs command shows information logged by all containers participating in a service. The information that is logged and the format of the log depends almost entirely on the container's endpoint command.
Create a powershell session for the container
docker exec -it <container_id> powershell Then from the container, get the latest event logs
