no opensearch.yml mounted, only inject settings with environment

question:
default log4j2 to console only but not file?
expect there is a log file and would rotate automatically
seems others got similar issues on the forum but not resolved

@igs-employee Try setting path.log

@igs-employee If you’d like to use log4j2.properties, try my working example with the above setting in opensearch.yml.
