Fixed In Version:
Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Cause: Logging changed container logs to use log level "unknown" because there is no way to accurately determine container log levels for all types of container logs. See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1726639 Consequence: The remote syslog plugin broke because it does not know how to handle level "unknown" Fix: Change the plugin to use the configured default log level (e.g. "info") when it sees level "unknown". Result: Remote syslog plugin will continue to work and use the default log level instead of "unknown".

Description of problem:
We recently switched most container logs to use log level=unknown.  This causes problems for the remote-syslog plugin as `unknown` isn't in the list of levels/severities:
