You’re in luck, we already do! Rancher Labs has contributed a bunch to the log driver (syslog in 1.6 and rollover in 1.8) so we added support for those before docker-compose did. I don’t think there is support in the UI, but rancher-compose should already work with it. Please let me know if it doesn’t work.
