      Before this update, a change to the container logs path caused this metric to always be zero with older releases configured with the original path. With this update, the plugin which exposes metrics about collected logs supports reading from either path to resolve the issue.

      Since the switch to /var/log/pods, the fluentd collector is not setting namspace, podname and containername labels on log_*_bytes_total metrics.

      It is still expecting the old/var/log/containers path, but we are now reading from /var/log/pods.

      For example:
        

      Name container containername endpoint exported_namespace hostname instance job namespace path plugin_id pod podname prometheus service type Value
      log_collected_bytes_total collector notfound metrics notfound collector-m9bq5 10.128.1.200:24231 collector openshift-logging /var/log/pods/chat_chatter_05682f61-8a44-47af-ae0f-41ad3792e20a/chatter/0.log container-input collector-m9bq5 notfound openshift-monitoring/k8s collector tail 46317128

      The collector needs to recognise /var/log/pods paths.
