Hi,

Wanted to check if the container logs volume from windows docker host `C:\programdata\docker\containers` is available to be mounted on a pod/daemonset so i can harvest the logs as i would do in a Linux Docker host environment using something like filebeat ?

I tried this on my pod:

volumeMounts:

- mountPath: ‘c:\ContainerLogs’  
name: dockerlogs  
readOnly: true  
…  
…  
…  
volumes:
  - name: dockerlogs  
hostPath:  
path: ‘c:\programdata\docker\containers’

But i don’t see ‘fluentd’ harvesting any container logs.  
When I `exec` into the container with `pshw.exe` and do `dir c:\ContainerLogs'`, i get error `Get-ChildItem: Access to the path 'C:\containerlogs' is denied.` so wondering if `fluented` is also not able to read the logs ?  
Do i need to do anything special to share/read the container logs from docker host ?  
I am running in AWS EKS with `amazon/Windows_Server-2019-English-Full-EKS_Optimized-1.17-2020.11.12` as windows kubernetes node.
