Hello, I am facing some difficulties in configuring the agent log path when running in standalone mode. Agent Version: 8.5.3 Distribution: linux\_x86-64 Config: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/8/2/8286f4d43d31654b509980f7ecc765b3860b3655.png) Startup command: ./elastic-agent -run -c \ Based on the [elastic agent logging documentation](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/fleet/current/elastic-agent-standalone-logging-config.html), my understanding is that agent logs should be logged onto the log path specified in the the config. However I can seem to get it to work. All agent logs seem to be logged to `data/elastic-agent-0e1a73/logs` in `ndjson` files. Input logs are found in `data/elastic-agent-0e1a73/logs/logstash/metrics` (I assume the folder path here is controlled by the input name as specified in the config) Any idea how to get it to work? I happened to have an installation of 8.3.0 and tested it, which is working as intended. ---
