Hi all,

I'm using a golden image with non root user to build an run a dataflow template.

I got this error

python_template_launcher.go:37: Failed to initialize fluentd logger: failed to create log file /var/log/dataflow/template_launcher/runner-json.log: open /var/log/dataflow/template_launcher/runner-json.log: permission denied

Looks like dataflow template need write access to /var/log that I can't provide.

Is it possible to redirect the logs to different path?

Thanks
