Easier search of Container id based on user name in Jupyter server

We are currently using CA 11.1.5 with Jupyter notebook configured. Cognos is installed in Windows and Jupyter is installed in Linux.
At present we have very few users using Jupyter notebook and if any user receive any error in notebook we can easily check the Jupyter server instance logs using the container ID and the timestamp(the time for which the container is up) in the linux server. In future if this is rolled out to many users and if simultaneously many user start using notebook then how can we determine which container is assigned to which user?
In that case if a user receive some error in jupyter nootbook it will be very difficult to determine which container id is associated with the particular user. Also the default Cull_timeout value id 3600 seconds so the container will remain active for 1 hour after the user stops using Notebook. So we will also have a limited time in which we need to figure out the container ID and extract the logs for troubleshooting.
It will be great if we can have some easier way to identify the Container IDs based on user name or some other marker which exactly tells us which container is used by which user when user pool is large.
