Pull request overview
This PR tunes Kafka exporter throughput settings for the external syslog pipelines in the Logs plugin by introducing larger batching parameters and a larger burst buffer, and then bumps the chart/plugin versions to ship those changes.
Changes:
- Add Kafka producer batching (
flushMaxMessages,linger) and sending queue sizing (queueSize) to chart values and wire them into the external syslog Kafka exporters. - Update documentation defaults for the Kafka section to point to
values.yaml. - Bump the Logs plugin and Helm chart patch versions.
