I have a Flask application running inside a container, where I have setup the logging with the StreamHandler(), so the logs are sent to stdout.
When my uwsgi.ini file includes a statement to redirect the logs to a file (by using logto), then the logs from the application are available in the log file intermixed with the uWSGI logs (as it is expected).
But when I remove the logto from the uwsgi.ini - because I want those logs sent to the Docker container stdout only the uWSGI logs are visible in the docker container logs, the application logs are not. (the uWSGI logs were there even before)
uwsgi.ini:
[uwsgi]
base = /app_home/app
wsgi-file = /app_home/app/wsgi.py
callable = app
socket = /tmp/uwsgi.sock
chmod-socket = 666
# Log directory - we needed this to be turned off, so the logs are sent to STDOUT
# logto = /var/log/uwsgi/app.log
vacuum = true
master = true
processes = 3
enable-threads = true
uid = app
gid = app
master-fifo = /tmp/fifo0
master-fifo = /tmp/fifo1
chdir = /app_home/app
When the logto is enabled, then the log file includes the app's logs (as it should):
[2019-03-05 17:19:05,415] INFO in __init__: Initial starting of app...
2019-03-05 17:19:05,415 (9) - INFO - Initial starting of app...- [in ./app/__init__.py:128, function:create_app]
WSGI app 0 (mountpoint='') ready in 1 seconds on interpreter 0x1ad49b0 pid: 9 (default app)
*** uWSGI is running in multiple interpreter mode ***
gracefully (RE)spawned uWSGI master process (pid: 9)
spawned uWSGI worker 1 (pid: 32, cores: 1)
Once the logto is disabled, then no log file (as expected), but no app logs in the Docker container log either. The docker container looks exactly the same as before:

uWSGI documentation shows that the logs are sent to stdout/stderr by default (see https://uwsgi-docs.readthedocs.io/en/latest/Logging.html), so I don't really see a reason why the app's logs would be not sent to stdout with the uWSGI's own logs, but sent to a file with logto.
EDIT (SOLVED):
So it turns out there were two issues:
[program:uwsgi] command=/usr/local/bin/uwsgi --ini /app_home/app/uwsgi.ini --uid app --gid app --log-master stdout_logfile=/dev/stdout stdout_logfile_maxbytes=0
While this has worked with other applications (like NGinx), it was not enough for uWSGI, see step #2:
--log-master) had to be added to uWSGI to delegate the logging to the master process:[program:uwsgi] command=/usr/local/bin/uwsgi --ini /app_home/app/uwsgi.ini --uid app --gid app --log-master stdout_logfile=/dev/stdout stdout_logfile_maxbytes=0
And whoala, the logs from the Flask applications are visible in the Docker container log.
