Hello evryone,  
is there a specific reason on why there is no logging option in de docker compose regarding the minio & mender-mongo?

for example this

> ```
> minio:
> environment:
> MINIO_ACCESS_KEY: 
> MINIO_SECRET_KEY: 
> volumes:
> - mender-artifacts:/export:rw
> logging:
> options:
> max-file: "10"
> max-size: "50m"
> 
> mender-mongo:
> volumes:
> - mender-db:/data/db:rw
> logging:
> options:
> max-file: "10"
> max-size: "50m"
> 
> ```

Hello and thanks for your interest in Mender.

not to my knowledge. minio as such does not log much, without extra configuration. and we left mender-mongo logs at default level (or the ones defined globally).  
Does that bother you in any way? Do you need some specific values for your environment?

Hello @peter

well a month ago i had to cleanup my mender production 1.7.0 which at this point just over a year old  
the logging was standard (using the docker daemon) but the mender-mongo already took over 5gb of space over logging, thus i changed to docker daemon to forward the logs to syslog and letting it logrotate.

now to be fair, the polling rate is set on 5 seconds on purpose, which probably is the reason it grew as fast as it did, i do have some device inventory items that require this frequent polling interval, i was just wondering if there was some specific reason this was not set
