redirecting JIRA logs to STDOUT

[Yuval Zaltz]

We plan to run JIRA over kubernetes - typically containers in kubernetes write to STDOUT from there the data is captured and sent to log solution like elastic search.
especially as container may crush and data can be lost.

JIRA and JVM container save STDOUT and STDERR to log files  

So is it passable to redirect logs to STDOUT?

Found a workaround solution using kubernetes "sidecar" - see here https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/cluster-administration/logging/#using-a-sidecar-container-with-the-logging-agent

basically it's a daemon container on the same pod that prints out a specific log file tail

Hello @Yuval Zaltz ,

We have the following Knowledge base article detailing the steps on how to change the default logging locations, check it out and let me know how it goes:

Thanks - My instance is on Kubernetes and using Atlassian Docker (Ubuntu based i believe).

So this does not apply
