According to the docs (here and here) it should be possible to configure Nomad to output agent logs and audit logs to a specific file. This seems to be slightly broken as I only ever see logs being generated with a -{timestamp}.log suffix ?

It does respect the file name (see the examples below) ... but it always adds the -{timestamp}.log suffix even though this should, according to the docs, only happen upon file rotation.

Nomad version is v1.1.2+ent.

Configuration of the ordinary agent logs in nomad.hcl 👇

# log settings
...
log_file  = "/var/log/nomad.log"
...

Configuration of the Enterprise audit logs in nomad.hcl 👇

sink "audit" {
    ...
    path   = "/var/log/nomad_audit.log"
    ...
}

The result of this config ...

root@xxx:/var/log# ls -alh /var/log/nomad*
-rw-r----- 1 root root 8.3K Aug 18 11:22 /var/log/nomad-1629283904922740456.log
-rw-r----- 1 root root 7.7K Aug 18 11:22 /var/log/nomad-1629285757963036138.log
-rw------- 1 root root 2.1M Aug 18 11:22 /var/log/nomad_audit-1629283907665719584.log
-rw------- 1 root root 1.1M Aug 18 11:42 /var/log/nomad_audit-1629285759194447584.log

Likewise, trying to change the file permissions for the audit log file (per these instructions) does not seem to work as the files are always created with 0600 - I am not sure if the 2 issues are related but I thought I might as well mention it here.
