      • Here is the link for the Structure of the ClusterLogForwarder with logging 6.0:

      https://docs.openshift.com/container-platform/4.16/observability/logging/logging-6.0/log6x-clf.html#structure-of-the-clusterlogforwarder

      • Spec section of ClusterLogForwarder is mentioned with `Inputs`, `Outputs`, `Pipelines`, and `Filters` points, but it is not elaborated properly with the required configuration.
      • Before RHOL 6.0, the documentation was properly created for all the possibilities for forwarding logs to third-party systems. Below is the link:

      https://docs.openshift.com/container-platform/4.16/observability/logging/log_collection_forwarding/configuring-log-forwarding.html#cluster-logging-collector-log-forwarding-about_configuring-log-forwarding

      • Basically, Before RHOL 6.0, a sample template of ClusterLogForwarder for all the possible Outputs was part of the documentation.
      • But with RHOL 6.0, a sample template of ClusterLogForwarder is not mentioned in the documentation.
      • Due to this users are getting confused while creating a ClusterLogForwarder for forwarding logs to any External destination.
      • There are some indentation changes that happened with RHOL 6.0, so it will be really helpful if the sample template of ClusterLogForwarder for all the possible External logstore destinations is mentioned in the document.
      • Yes, users can use `$ oc explain obsclf.spec.` command to check the indentation details, but it would be great if those sample templates should be part of the RHOL 6.0 documentation.
      • Without this, there is a chance of receiving multiple unnecessary cases to get help on correct indentation while creating ClusterLogForwarder configuration with logging 6.0.

      Kindly let me know if you need any other information.
