Hi,

After reading through doc, it's still not very clear to me how logging works 
with container.
This is with Pacific v16.2 container.

In OSD container, I see this.
```
/usr/bin/ceph-osd -n osd.16 -f --setuser ceph --setgroup ceph 
--default-log-to-file=false --default-log-to-stderr=true 
--default-log-stderr-prefix=debug
```
When check ceph configuration.
```
# ceph config get osd.16 log_file
/var/log/ceph/$cluster-$name.log
# ceph config get osd.16 log_to_file
true
# ceph config show osd.16 log_to_file
false
```
Q1, what's the intention of those log settings in command line? It's high 
priority and overrides
configuration in file and mon. Is there any option not doing that when deploy 
the container?
Q2, since log_to_file is set to false by command line, why there is still 
loggings in log_file?

The same for mgr and mon.

What I want is to have everything in log file and minimize the stdout and 
stderr from container.
Because log file is managed by logrotate, it unlikely blow up disk space. But 
stdout and stderr
from container is stored in a single file, not managed by logrotate. It may 
grow up to huge file.
Also, it's easier to check log file by vi than "podman logs". And log file is 
also collected and
stored by ELK for central management.

Any comments how I can achieve what I want?
Runtime override may not be the best option, cause it's not persistent.


Thanks!
Tony
