I am currently using KC 19.0.3 and I am not able to make Keycloak to log in log file in JSON format. I am starting my docker instance with following env variables… Logs in console are printed in JSON format, in file they are not… any ideas?

```auto
KC_LOG: console,file
KC_LOG_FILE_OUTPUT: json
KC_LOG_CONSOLE_OUTPUT: json
KC_LOG_LEVEL: "INFO,org.keycloak.events:trace"

```
