Description of problem:
As per documentation[1], we can configure ClusterLogForwarder to send project-specific logs to external/internal log aggregators.
[1] https://docs.openshift.com/container-platform/4.6/logging/cluster-logging-external.html#cluster-logging-collector-log-forwarding-about_cluster-logging-external
If only single project logs need to be forwarded, the configuration works fine.
But if we need to forward multiple project logs to different destinations, the fluentd configuration is messed up.
For example, forwarding logs from two different projects to two different external elasticsearch instances, the logs from both the projects are forwarded to both the elasticsearch instances, due to the fluentd configuration getting messed up as below:
~~~
cat /etc/fluentd/fluent.conf

# A log source matcher may be null if no pipeline wants that type of log.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
How reproducible:
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Deploy an OCP 4.6 cluster and install cluster-logging stack on it.
2. Configure clusterlogforwarder to forward logs from two projects to different elasticsearch instance.
3. Check the logs on external elasticsearch instances, it will contain logs from both the projects
Actual results:
Logs from both the project are available on both elasticsearch instances
Expected results:
Logs from one project to go to the first external elasticsearch instance and the second projects logs to the second elasticsearch instance.
