I want to look at last 1 hour of docker container log using docker logs --since option. Which value I should provide for --since parameter?

Docker Command for Checking Container Logs To find the container ID, use the docker ps command to list running containers. As in the image below, Docker responds by listing the event logs for that specific container in the output.
Using Default Log File By default, Docker stores log files in a dedicated directory on the host using the json-file log driver. The log file directory is /var/lib/docker/containers/<container_id> on the host where the container is running.
To view logs until a specific date, use the “–until” option with a date or a duration. You can also provide a date format like you did before for the since option.
as the help says
--since string Show logs since timestamp (e.g. 2013-01-02T13:23:37) or relative (e.g. 42m for 42 minutes
I would do
docker logs mycontainer_or_id --since 60m
This syntax is correct according to my active container

Please refer to the Docker docs.
docker logs --since 1h
The --since option shows only the container logs generated after a given date. You can specify the date as an RFC 3339 date, a UNIX timestamp, or a Go duration string (e.g. 1m30s, 3h). Besides RFC3339 date format you may also use RFC3339Nano, 2006-01-02T15:04:05, 2006-01-02T15:04:05.999999999, 2006-01-02Z07:00, and 2006-01-02.
