Hi!

I'll start off that I love your ECK offering so far 🙂

Quick question is there an easy way to configure log level options for a particular node group in the YAML manifest?

Hello! Thanks for the feedback 🙂

The [Elasticsearch documentation](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/logging.html#configuring-logging-levels) describes several ways to configure log levels.

You can either use the Elasticsearch API, or modify the configuration of an individual nodeSet:

```auto
apiVersion: elasticsearch.k8s.elastic.co/v1
kind: Elasticsearch
metadata:
  name: quickstart
spec:
  version: 7.8.1
  nodeSets:
  - name: default
    count: 1
    config:
      logger.org.elasticsearch.transport: trace

```
