I have a fleet managed Daemonset of agents which are assigned a policy including the Custom Logs integration. I want to collect logs which are duplicated across all nodes, so I'm only interested in one of the agents shipping the logs. The only "correct" way to do this seems to be to use leader-election.

In the configuration editor for the Custom Logs integration, I've added the following custom config which I assume will enable log shipping for the leader agent and none of the others:

```nohighlight
condition: '${kubernetes_leaderelection.leader} == true'

```

However, it always disables shipping on all agents. I've tried different quoting styles, no quotes, and `'true'`, but neither of the variations work. When I set `condition: true` they all ship, and when I set `condition: false`, they're all are disabled.

Thoughts?

Any thoughts? If not, will create a Github issue.
