Team: All my container logs are under /var/log/containers..
Where in kubelet or docker config can I specify this path such that logs are instead created under new path? Ex : /shared ? Instead of /var/log

I can't find anything either. It's also the case with containerd runtime. Good point. If you can't figure it out, one way to go about this might be to mount-bind your /var/log/containers from your arbitrary logs directory - see serverfault.com/a/613184/293779– SYNDec 18, 2020 at 12:25

@AhmFM could you specify why you want the change the log path?– c4f4t0rDec 20, 2020 at 0:17

2Because I don’t like users writing to root directly. So I created a slice partition from root and want container logs to be written there instead.– AhmFMDec 21, 2020 at 6:43

You might circumvent this by using syslog, or other logging facility if you can configure the host and set up the log path there.– karatedogJan 23, 2021 at 20:45

I got a work around to this case. basically, My root volume is 100GB and I created a separate partition out of it as 70GB and I set it to a new device sda3 and mounted it to /var/lib.
now, all docker container logs are written in same path but in backend they are mounted to a different drive. with this setup, even if there is disk pressure, the node does not become unavailable.
so my drive now looks liek below
sda1
sda2 / 30GB
sda3 /var/lib 70GB. << new device
