+To enable logs collection we need to enable the logs agent in the Datadog agent.
+
+To do so you can set the following environment variables:
+
+```
+DD_LOGS_ENABLED=true
+DD_LOGS_CONFIG_CONTAINER_COLLECT_ALL=true
+```
+
+We have set these environment variables for you automatically.
+
+These settings enable the logs agent and tells it to collect logs from all docker containers it finds.
