Description

The Output section of the containerdebug page said that the collected information goes to the shared Stackable log dir for pickup by the Vector agent, without saying how that is enabled. It has in fact not happened since containerdebug 0.2.0, which no longer reads the environment variable that the operators were setting.

This splits the section into pod logs, aggregated log files and state file, and documents the FILE_LOG_DIRECTORY, FILE_LOG_ROTATION_PERIOD and FILE_LOG_MAX_FILES variables which the operators set instead. It also explains that the events carry the container name containerdebug although no container of that name exists, which path an override has to keep, and that the file log level is independent of the log configuration of the product container. The link to containerdebug now points at the crate in operator-rs, where the tool lives.

I think a few small tweaks might be needed.
