Where is the Docker daemon log? Oddly cannot find an answer to this via man, StackOverflow or Docker Docs. Note I am not asking for the docker container STDOUT, but the daemon log for troubleshooting communications between the client and container via daemon / proxy.

Docker daemon logs are generated by the Docker platform and located on the host. Depending on the host operating system, daemon logs are written to the system's logging service or to a log file. If you were to collect only container logs you'd get insight into the state of your services.
Run docker inspect to find your Docker log file location. Find the “Docker Root Dir” Value, mine is /var/lib/docker.
It depends on your OS. Here are the few locations, with commands for few Operating Systems:
/var/log/upstart/docker.log sudo journalctl -fu docker.service /var/log/docker /var/log/docker.log /var/log/daemon.log /var/log/message | grep docker journalctl -u docker.service journalctl -u docker.service /var/log/messages | grep docker journalctl -u docker.service ~/Library/Containers/com.docker.docker/Data/log/vm/docker.log Get-EventLog -LogName Application -Source Docker -After (Get-Date).AddMinutes(-5) | Sort-Object Time, as mentioned here.
