Description

Currently we log output from the various processes inside API Umbrella to files in /var/log/api-umbrella. But for Docker (and other environments) it may be preferable to redirect all of this log output to STDOUT/STDERR.

Research direction

Start by tracing how the processes write to /var/log/api-umbrella and review the Docker environment involved in API Umbrella. Compare the related discussion in issue 365, then define completion as the relevant log output being available through Docker's STDOUT/STDERR without losing the existing process logs.
