 Logs: one JSON object per line on stdout (`level,time,msg,service,version`, plus `req.*`/`res.statusCode`/`responseTime` per request).
 
-## Seeing your logs
-
-Every container's stdout is shipped to Elasticsearch by Fluent Bit; nothing to configure per service.
-
-1. Open Kibana: http://kibana.192.168.1.83.nip.io, user `elastic`, password from
-   `kubectl get secret -n logging logging-es-elastic-user -o jsonpath='{.data.elastic}' | base64 -d`.
-2. **Discover**, data view `kube-*` (the default).
-3. Query with KQL, e.g. `service:"${REPO_NAME}" and demo:true`, or `service:"${REPO_NAME}" and level:"error"`.
-
-Any field you pass to the logger becomes a queryable field:
-`req.log.info({ orderId }, "order placed")` → KQL `orderId:123`. The message string always
-overrides a `msg` key in the object, so don't name a field `msg`. Lines show up within ~10 s;
-retention is 14 days.

 ## Using this template
 
 1. **Generate** a repo from this template in Forgejo (public). The repo name is substituted into `package.json`, this README, `.env.example`, and the first migration (CI derives the app name from the repo name itself).
