modify the path of the objectstore logs

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

The main problem is that the logs are stored in the /home of the user executing a transmission that sends files to the cloud (AWS, COS, GC). On Linux servers, if we have an owner user of the ConnectDirect product, we do not have permissions to view the /home folders of other users and the review becomes very difficult, since you have to contact other teams to provide you with the logs, making a quick review slow and expensive depending on others.
Wouldn't it be simpler if they were also stored in the work directory where the rest of the logs are saved or in another directory specific to the product.
The fact that the logs are in the /home of each user greatly complicates the analysis of a problem or incident.
What is your industry? Banking
How will this idea be used?
As an administrator and product manager of ConnectDirect, it is necessary for the user who owns the installation to have visibility over all file transfer logs, to be able to detect or analyze errors or problems in file transmission.
