Ability to configure a global setting, config, or spec that ensures HTTP logging (and formatting) is always applied to nginx deployments within watsonx.ai.

While troubleshooting an issue with not being able to navigate to watson.orchestrate from within the watson.ai GUI, we have enabled HTTP access logs within the default ingress controller pods in Openshift. Reviewing those logs we can see the ingress controller routing traffic to other router/Nginx pods within the cluster and these pods do not have HTTP access logging turned on. For example, if a user creates a deployment space and deploys an asset into that space within watson.ai, on the backend, something like the following will be created & deployed to the cluster:

     "pod:ibm-nginx-84746c98c4-7w6kb:ibm-nginx-svc:ibm-nginx-https-port:10.128.2.40:8443"

Currently, there is not even an option to configure these Nginx pods to log HTTP requests; ideally, you should be able to configure a global setting, config, or spec that ensures HTTP logging (and formatting) is always applied to nginx deployments within watsonx.ai.
