      1. Proposed title of this feature request
        max_send_limit_bytes modifiable via API
      2. What is the nature and description of the request
        When the `buffer_chunk_size` in fluentd is configured the following warnings are written to the log file:
        2020-11-20 09:26:28 +0000 [warn]: chunk bytes limit exceeds for an emitted event stream: 1471470bytes
        

        This is caused by the `read_lines_limit` setting in the `in_tail` plugin of fluentd. To avoid the warning message it is advised to set the `read_lines_limit` to a smaller value as can be found here. However this variable can not be set via the settings of the openshift-logging operator. For customers who need to set `buffer_chunk_size` to match their external backend it would be a benefit to avoid unnecessary warnings if they were able to configure this setting as well. Furthermore customers are experiencing data loss because of this.
