Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Some users need to change umask. Example:

  • #4810

Currently, we have to use the command line option --umask. It is inconvenient for the service or container image.

Describe the solution you'd like

Add umask option to the System config.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Without this option in System config, we can customize the command line options like https://github.com/fluent/fluentd/issues/4810#issuecomment-2629720905, but it is inconvenient.

Contributor guide

Research direction
The implementation should add a 'umask' option to the system config. Look at the existing system config options in lib/fluentd/system config.rb or similar. The command line umask is already handled; replicate that in config parsing. Check how other options like 'log level' are defined. Ensure the setting is applied during startup. See also issue #4810 for context.
