Changing log options doesn't restart container

[spuder]

Cookbook version

4.1.1

Chef-client version

Chef 12.18.31

Platform Details

Ubuntu 16.04

Scenario:

If you change the 'logging' options it does not reconfigure / restart the container

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Create a docker container

docker_container 'nginx' do
  action :run
end

Then change the log_driver or log_opts

docker_container 'nginx' do
  log_driver 'splunk'
  log_opts ['splunk-url=foobar.splunk.com:8088', 'splunk-token=123457890', 'splunk-source=docker', 'splunk-sourcetype=foobar']
  action :run
end

Then run chef.
Then run a docker inspect, you will find the 'splunk' logger isn't there

docker inspect nginx | grep splunk

Workaround

Deleting and recreating the container by hand fixes the issue

docker stop nginx
docker rm nginx
chef-client

Looking at docker inspect shows the splunk options now

docker inspect nginx | grep splunk

            "LogConfig": {
                "Type": "splunk",
                "Config": {
                    "splunk-format": "json",
                    "splunk-source": "docker",
                    "splunk-token": "xxxxxxxx",
                    "splunk-url": "https://foobar.example.com:8088"
                }
            },

Expected Result:

Chef should restart the container just like it does if you change any other options (e,g, volumes, labels, tags)

Actual Result:

Chef does not restart or reconfigure the container on any logging changes
