Disabling streaming logs

Versions up to 2021.10.4

To disable log streaming on existing skills, edit the skill deployment and change the LOGS_STREAMING_ENABLED environment variable to false. You can also add a logsStreamingEnabled global variable with the value set as false using ArgoCD under the aicenter app details. Make sure to sync ArgoCD after the change is done.

Versions from 2021.10.5

To disable streaming logs for versions starting with 2021.10.5, toggle the ArgoCD values from the screenshot.
