Description

Kubernetes 1.19 seen a big push for ensuring the Kubernetes components produce structured logs. Each components can be passed the --logging-format flag to tweak the output format of these structured logs. Available formats at the time of this issue are text and json, with the former being the default.

I'd like to see minkube support a single flag for enabling the format to be switched to JSON

minikube --logging-format=json, which should result in --logging-format=json being sent to the Kubelet, Scheduler, APIServer, and others.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate how minikube currently passes internal flags like logging format to each Kubernetes component (kubelet, apiserver, scheduler, etc.) and add a top level logging format flag that propagates to each component's command line.
