Startup log not in JSON

We're seeing

time="2023-09-05T14:14:04Z" level=info msg="Environment: Kubernetes"

in our logs, since it's not JSON, it triggers an error alert. We have the helm chart configured to log JSON, and it works otherwise. We just get this one non-JSON log when reloader restarts.

We're on v1.0.39.

Since this happens early in the startup process, is it possible that LogRus isn't getting passed the JSON formatter this early?

did you use the --log-format=json option?

[JenniferMack]

We use this in the helm values.yaml file:

reloader:
  logFormat: json

where would --log-format=json go?
