+The Docker Stats receiver queries the local Docker daemon:
+- for the logs receiver, queries the events API for Docker events and streams them into log records. These events
+can be any in the [docker events](https://docs.docker.com/reference/cli/docker/system/events/) command.
+- for the metrics receiver, queries the container stats API for all desired running containers on a configured interval. These stats are for container
 resource usage of cpu, memory, network, and the
 [blkio controller](https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/cgroup-v1/blkio-controller.txt).
 
 > :information_source: Requires Docker API version 1.22+ and only Linux is supported.
 
 ## Configuration
 
-The following settings are optional:
+The following settings are for both logs and metrics receier:
 
 - `endpoint` (default = `unix:///var/run/docker.sock`): Address to reach the desired Docker daemon.
+- `excluded_images` (no default, all running containers monitored): A list of strings,
+    [regexes](https://golang.org/pkg/regexp/), or [globs](https://github.com/gobwas/glob) whose referent container image
+    names will not be among the queried containers. `!`-prefixed negations are possible for all item types to signify that
+    only unmatched container image names should be excluded.
+  - Regexes must be placed between `/` characters: `/my?egex/`.  Negations are to be outside the forward slashes:
+    `!/my?egex/` will exclude all containers whose name doesn't match the compiled regex `my?egex`.
+  - Globs are non-regex items (e.g. `/items/`) containing any of the following: `*[]{}?`.  Negations are supported:
+    `!my*container` will exclude all containers whose image name doesn't match the blob `my*container`.
+- `timeout` (default = `5s`): The request timeout for any docker daemon query.
+- `api_version` (default = `"1.25"`): The Docker client API version (must be 1.25+). Must be input as a string, not a float (e.g. `"1.40"` instead of `1.40`). [Docker API versions](https://docs.docker.com/engine/api/).
+
+Only for metrics receiver:
 - `collection_interval` (default = `10s`): The interval at which to gather container stats.
 - `initial_delay` (default = `1s`): defines how long this receiver waits before starting.
 - `container_labels_to_metric_labels` (no default): A map of Docker container label names whose label values to use
 as the specified metric label key.
 - `env_vars_to_metric_labels` (no default): A map of Docker container environment variables whose values to use
 as the specified metric label key.
-- `excluded_images` (no default, all running containers monitored): A list of strings,
-[regexes](https://golang.org/pkg/regexp/), or [globs](https://github.com/gobwas/glob) whose referent container image
-names will not be among the queried containers. `!`-prefixed negations are possible for all item types to signify that
-only unmatched container image names should be excluded.
-    - Regexes must be placed between `/` characters: `/my?egex/`.  Negations are to be outside the forward slashes:
-    `!/my?egex/` will exclude all containers whose name doesn't match the compiled regex `my?egex`.
-    - Globs are non-regex items (e.g. `/items/`) containing any of the following: `*[]{}?`.  Negations are supported:
-    `!my*container` will exclude all containers whose image name doesn't match the blob `my*container`.
-- `timeout` (default = `5s`): The request timeout for any docker daemon query.
-- `api_version` (default = `"1.25"`): The Docker client API version (must be 1.25+). Must be input as a string, not a float (e.g. `"1.40"` instead of `1.40`). [Docker API versions](https://docs.docker.com/engine/api/).
 - `metrics` (defaults at [./documentation.md](./documentation.md)): Enables/disables individual metrics. See [./documentation.md](./documentation.md) for full detail.
 
+Only for logs receiver:
+- `min_docker_retry_wait` (default = `1s`): The docker daemon may disconnect from the receiver. This configures the starting 
+duration to wait before attempting a reconnect (with exponential backoff).
+- `max_docker_retry_wait` (default = `10s`): This configures the maximum
+  duration to wait before attempting a reconnect (with exponential backoff).
+- `logs`: Configuration for which docker events to emit as logs. matches the [go docker api](https://github.com/moby/moby/blob/master/api/types/events/events.go#L131).
+  - `since`: The earliest time docker events should be emitted at. Accepts Unix timestamps or RFC3339 formatted timestamps (e.g., "2024-01-02T15:04:05Z").
+  - `until`: The latest time docker events should be emitted at. Same format as above.
+  - `filters`: a map of which docker events to emit based on properties. See [docker events](https://docs.docker.com/reference/cli/docker/system/events/) for more details.
