Previously, stderr/out would be cluttered by unuseful log statements from various components like
testutils
andsarama
, which are configured to utilise the pkg/util/log. This is, by default, set to use a stderr sink. It makes parsing the TC roachtest build log especially cumbersome..This PR introduces a roachtest specific configuration which filters all but FATAL events to stderr, and preserves what was previously being written, by including a file sink that writes to
artifactsDir
.Epic: none
Release note: None
