Bug report

I spotted that we do not properly interpret the level of the --log-options, therefore we cannot really update the logging level. At first sight, I believe the culprit resides in here:

This variable does not seem to be updated at any point.

I will work on a PR to sort this issue out and make the logging level interface easier to use.

General Information

• Cilium version: v1.9.4 - though it probably impacts much lower versions too

How to reproduce the issue

• Attempt to start the agent with --log-options='{"level":"error"}'
