I am attempting to use the http-log plugin to send access requests to our ELK system. I have enabled debug logging on kong and it appears that the request is being made, but I’m not getting anything. From the system running kong, I can perform a curl command to the endpoint and everything is working okay. is there any way to enable additional debugging and output on the http-log plugin to see what response the plugin is getting (or specifically what request is being made)?

Where are you writing to log? stderr or to file with kong? I certainly see error logs when the plugin has issues connecting/L4 errors.

We run kong in kube and have all admin/proxy access/error logs going to /dev/stdout  
This is what we do see in the logs

```auto
