SpringBoot Improve logging in DockerApi

I got a problem when trying to use the gradle buildBootImage task. I managed to track the source of the problem and it was a problem with my installation of docker which refused to allow a _ping. But the symptom was not really clear as I only got the following message : Docker API version must be at least 1.41 to support the 'imagePlatform' option, but current API version is 1.24 I think this could be a good idea to add a log message when you get an exception when trying to ping the docker installation. But after looking at DockerAPI and SystemAPI classes, I don't really know which form it could take :

    class SystemApi {

        SystemApi() {
        }

        /**
         * Get the API version supported by the Docker daemon.
         * @return the Docker daemon API version
         */
        ApiVersion getApiVersion() {
            try {
                URI uri = new URIBuilder("/_ping").build();
                try (Response response = http().head(uri)) {
                    Header apiVersionHeader = response.getHeader(API_VERSION_HEADER_NAME);
                    if (apiVersionHeader != null) {
                        return ApiVersion.parse(apiVersionHeader.getValue());
                    }
                }
                catch (Exception ex) {
                    // fall through to return default value
                                        // Add a way to log the exception here ?
                }
                return MINIMUM_API_VERSION;
            }
            catch (URISyntaxException ex) {
                throw new IllegalStateException(ex);
            }
        }
}
