+# Log Tags
+
+The `tag` log option specifies how to format a tag that identifies the
+container's log messages. By default, the system uses the first 12 characters of
+the container id. To override this behavior, specify a `tag` option:
+
+```
+docker run --log-driver=fluentd --log-opt fluentd-address=myhost.local:24224 --log-opt tag="mailer"
+```
+
+Docker supports some special template markup you can use when specifying a tag's value:
+
+| Markup             | Description                                          |
+|--------------------|------------------------------------------------------|
+| `{{.ID}}`          | The first 12 characters of the container id.         |
+| `{{.FullID}}`      | The full container id.                               |
+| `{{.Name}}`        | The container name.                                  |
+| `{{.ImageID}}`     | The first 12 characters of the container's image id. |
+| `{{.ImageFullID}}` | The container's full image identifier.               |
+| `{{.ImageName}}`   | The name of the image used by the container.         |
+
+For example, specifying a `--log-opt tag="{{.ImageName}}/{{.Name}}/{{.ID}}"` value yields `syslog` log lines like:
+
+```
+Aug  7 18:33:19 HOSTNAME docker/hello-world/foobar/5790672ab6a0[9103]: Hello from Docker.
+```
+
+At startup time, the system sets the `container_name` field and `{{.Name}}` in
+the tags. If you use `docker rename` to rename a container, the new name is not
+reflected in the log messages. Instead, these messages continue to use the
+original container name.
+
+For advanced usage, the generated tag's use [go
+templates](http://golang.org/pkg/text/template/) and the container's [logging
+context](https://github.com/docker/docker/blob/master/daemon/logger/context.go).
+
+>**Note**:The driver specific log options `syslog-tag`, `fluentd-tag` and
+>`gelf-tag` still work for backwards compatibility. However, going forward you
+>should standardize on using the generic `tag` log option instead.

     --log-opt syslog-address=[tcp|udp]://host:port
     --log-opt syslog-address=unix://path
     --log-opt syslog-facility=daemon
-    --log-opt syslog-tag="mailer"
+    --log-opt tag="mailer"
 
 `syslog-address` specifies the remote syslog server address where the driver connects to.
 If not specified it defaults to the local unix socket of the running system.

 You can use the `--log-opt NAME=VALUE` flag to specify these additional Fluentd logging driver options.
 
  - `fluentd-address`: specify `host:port` to connect [localhost:24224]
- - `fluentd-tag`: specify tag for `fluentd` message,

-When specifying a `fluentd-tag` value, you can use the following markup tags:
-

+ - `tag`: specify tag for `fluentd` message,
 
 For example, to specify both additional options:

 If container cannot connect to the Fluentd daemon on the specified address,
 the container stops immediately. For detailed information on working with this
