Hi John, Unfortunately GKE doesn't support configuring the logging driver through our API directly, so you'll have to manually modify each of the nodes in your cluster (or use a provisioning tool like salt or puppet) to accomplish this.
As explained in Docker's documentation <https://docs.docker.com/engine/admin/logging/overview/>, you can do this by passing a flag to the docker daemon when it's started. The flags passed to the docker daemon on GKE nodes are specified in the /etc/default/docker file. You should be able to SSH to each node and modify the command line flags in that file to add your preferred logging driver. In order to make the flags take effect, you'll have to kill the docker daemon. It'll automatically restart within a few seconds with the new flag, but this will mean that all the containers running on your node will be down for those few seconds, so be careful that such downtime is acceptable before doing this!
