…h --silent xrpld has two log sinks: the console (stderr) and the optional [debug_logfile] file sink. --silent disables the console sink for the entire run, so under a process supervisor or in a container that captures stdout/stderr, no ongoing logs are emitted after the startup banner. The file sink is independent of --silent, so pointing [debug_logfile] at /dev/stdout restores log visibility to the container log driver. The example config did not mention either the container pattern or the --silent interaction; this comment closes that gap.

High Level Overview of Change
Adds a short comment to the
[debug_logfile]stanza incfg/xrpld-example.cfgexplaining that, in a container, the debug log file can be set to/dev/stdout(or/proc/1/fd/1) to route logs to the container log driver, and that when--silentis used the file sink is the only sink that keeps receiving ongoing logs.Context of Change
xrpldhas two log sinks: the console (stderr) and the optional[debug_logfile]file sink. The--silentflag disables the console sink for the entire run of the process, so under a process supervisor or in a container that captures stdout/stderr, no ongoing logs are emitted after the startup banner. The file sink is independent of--silent, so pointing[debug_logfile]at/dev/stdoutrestores log visibility to the container log driver. The example config did not mention either the container pattern or the--silentinteraction; this comment closes that gap for operators reading the example config.This is a comments-only change to the example config; no behavior changes.
