Hi ,

We've recently changed our log dentation from the default /var/log but ever since that we are unable to get stderr logs to our kibana.log file , its only able to capture stdout (info) logs.  
We also tried the option logging.quiet= true option but that just suppresses any info logs and we only get error logs .

Is there a way to get both stderr stdout (Error & info) log in a non default logging path? Any help would be much appreciated.

Kibana Version : 7.5.2  
package installation : RPM , used systemd to manage kibana app & running on cent OS 7

Logging option used to set path : logging.dest: "/data/kibana\_logs/kibana.log" (it has the required permissions)

```auto
ansible@xxxxx:~$sudo ls -ltr /data/kibana_logs/kibana.log
-rw-r--r--. 1 elasticsearch kibana 105468928 Jan 20 13:16 /data/kibana_logs/kibana.log

```

Thanks
