OCP 4.12
Deployed data-prepper:2 in my namespace using the unchanged k8s deployment-template file "data-prepper-k8s.yaml"

Container started and crashes with the following errors:
Reading pipelines and data-prepper configuration files from Data Prepper home directory.

If you need full see attached
console-output.log

Begin with data-prepper-k8s.yaml and the attached console-output.log; inspect the container's configured home and log/data-prepper path under OpenShift. Done means the unchanged deployment starts without the RollingFileAppender errors and produces usable logs.
