+    The kolla_logs Docker volume is now mounted into the Elasticsearch
+    container to expose logs which were previously written erroneously
+    to the container filesystem (bug 1859162). It is up to the user to
+    migrate any existing logs if they so desire and this should be
+    done before applying this fix.
