Hi community

As per the topic's title, I'm trying to configure the logging path when installing the Elastic Agent. I'm using central fleet management and following the installation guidelines from the Kibana UI as described [here](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/fleet/8.6/install-fleet-managed-elastic-agent.html).

[This page](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/fleet/8.6/installation-layout.html) mentions that the path can't be overridden, but the [command reference page](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/fleet/8.6/elastic-agent-cmd-options.html#elastic-agent-global-flags) mentions the `--path.logs` option, which suggests it is possible.

I've tried adding this option to the install and restart command, but it doesn't seem to be working. Am I missing something here?
