After upgrading the cluster logging from version 5.9.11 to 6.1.2, we noticed that the data path has changed.

Logging 5.9.11 -> Data Path in the Pods is: datadir /var/lib/vector No subpath (/var/lib/vector) Read/Write Container collector

Logging 6.1.2 -> Data Path in the Pods is: datadir /var/lib/vector/openshift-logging/logging No subpath (/var/lib/vector/openshift-logging/logging) Read/Write Container collector

It is important to note that these changes are not mentioned in the Red Hat documentation.
