Description
Emitting a log prior to log.ApplyConfig will crash the cluster due to the active bit being set prior to configuration. The system is designed to only set the active bit once during startup and we force it to be set once we emit the first log line in order to ensure that our logging config captures everythig in the same place.
We should consider making the pre-ApplyConfig test configuration, which emits logs to stderr, opt out of this behavior.
