Install istio into local docker-desktop k8s
istioctl install --set profile=demo -y
edit istio-ingressgateway deployment to write all logs (except accesslogs) into file /etc/istio/proxy/app.log:
- args:
- --log_target=/etc/istio/proxy/app.log
after restarting pods in /etc/istio/proxy/app.log exists only few messages, instead of all logs, that appears in stdout.
Also if trace or debug level for envoy components enabled these logs don’t appear in /etc/istio/proxy/app.log
