Issue details

Using step ca in Docker, the logs get full of /health requests:

time="2025-04-07T10:42:59Z" level=info duration="36.959µs" duration-ns=36959 fields.time="2025-04-07T10:42:59Z" method=GET name=ca path=/health protocol=HTTP/1.1 referer= remote-address=<ip> request-id=5e0d5ae1-02bd-4e51-a08b-f6e998b8f9ef size=16 status=200 user-agent="Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; <Monitoring Software>; Windows)" user-id=

Anyone with a monitoring software using the /health endpoint should have a similar issue.

Why is this needed?

The logs are flooded with /health requests, making it harder to extract useful information from the logs.

Hey @Vivida1, have you tried setting the env var STEP_LOGGER_ONLY_TRACE_HEALTH_ENDPOINT=1? See #421 for more context.

@hslatman, seems to be working, thanks!
