Hello,

I have docker container with image `percona/pmm-client:2.41.1` and I need logs from agent in the JSON so I can push them into ES.

I know that pmm-agent tool has flag `--json` unfortunately this cannot be used during start of the container because container using [entrypoint in GO](https://github.com/percona/pmm/blob/main/agent/cmd/pmm-agent-entrypoint/main.go) that does not support this flag. I also tried to use env `PMM_AGENT_JSON` but without success.

Do you have any idea?

Best regards,

Jakub Noga.

Hi @Jakub_Noga,  
Please file a ticket in our [Jira](https://perconadev.atlassian.net/browse/PMM). Not sure if we will be able to work on it in near future.  
We always welcome contribution to our project.

The easiest option probably will be binding env variable to --json flag.

Thank you  
Best regards,

Nurlan
