It is a known information to many people that logs of the pods that are running inside openshift-logging namespace are not collected by the collector pods and are not forwarded to the logstore(internal + external) , A note of the same should be added in the doc in this part . For further clarity of the customer.
the reason we dont collect logs is mentioned below, maybe similar statement or a more simpler note in the doc will be helpful for the customer
In early releases of logging (3.10?), we learned collecting logs from our own logging infrastructure could lead to destabilizing the entire deployment, causing it to eventually fail. The root cause of this scenario was when the log store began to run out of resources or error in processing a payload, it would dump the entire payload to its logs. The collector would read these logs and forward the content of the previous payload along with any additional logs and the payload would eventually balloon to an unmanageable size.
