Use Cases

Good day,

It would be incredibly useful to have the ability to control and change the log level of a running instance of Vector dynamically. Currently, it seems that Vector logs all messages at the info level by default.

It would be great to have the option to dynamically switch between different log levels in values.yaml such as:

off, error, warn, info, debug, trace

This feature would greatly enhance debugging and monitoring capabilities, especially in production environments.

Have a nice day!
