Is it possible to configure the path where the rancher (-agent) logs are written to? We would like to override the default of /var/log/rancher.

Note: I know a symlink might solve this but I would like to have minimum configuration/modifications on the host since all software runs in docker containers.

I don’t believe we have this configuration ability in Rancher at this moment, but please feel free to make a Github issue. If enough people would like this, we could look into prioritizing it.
