fluentdLogLevel in values.yaml has no effect about sumologic-kubernetes-collection

[abhi-sumo-zz]

Is the desired effect similar to setting this property in the configmap?

Yes, that is what I expected from it initially.

For Helm installation you can use fluentdLogLevel, e.g.

helm upgrade collection sumologic/sumologic --reuse-values --set sumologic.fluentdLogLevel="debug"

For non-Helm installation you can update the deployment yaml -OR- update the config map and redeploy the fluentd pods:

<system>
  log_level debug
</system>

For configuration changes to take effect in FluentD, you can redeploy the pods by scaling to zero and back to the desired deployment size:

kubectl scale deployment/collection-sumologic --replicas=0
kubectl scale deployment/collection-sumologic --replicas=3
