Description Michael Burke 2019-10-10 17:25:39 UTC 
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1758222 +++

Document URL: https://docs.openshift.com/container-platform/4.1/logging/efk-logging-eventrouter.html

Section Number and Name: Deploying and Configuring the Event Router

Describe the issue: 

1) In 4.x, the logging stack will not process the eventrouter data unless MERGE_JSON_LOG=true - the efk-logging-eventrouter doc should explain this and provide a link to https://docs.openshift.com/container-platform/4.1/logging/config/efk-logging-fluentd.html#efk-logging-fluentd-json_efk-logging-fluentd
