Not convinced this framing is right though. Do we want CE users submitting GitHub issues asking for help or is that just for reporting bugs? I suspect we want to direct users to Slack. If we treat GitHub issues as support requests that we'll respond to, that's basically the same as the EE experience. @wyohm ?


==== Hazelcast logs

The Hazelcast logs contain useful information when debugging an issue in a Hazelcast cluster. Each member has its own Hazelcast log, which typically includes:

Per the style guide, bullets should end in full stops unless they're single words/phrases or links

- Stack traces
- Other log messages regarding cluster health and performance

We recommend you configure Hazelcast to use log4j, log4j2 or logback via slf4j. For more information about how to do this, see xref:maintain-cluster:logging.adoc[].

This section describes the configuration parameters to enable JVM garbage collection logging, along with parameters for rotation and retention.

In Java 8 and below, the output file path is set with the `-Xloggc` parameter; in Java 9 and above, with the `file=` parameter.

From Hazelcast 5.4, our minimum supported Java version is 17. We last supported Java 8 in 5.2 (and I assume you're not planning to backport that far).

Where do you set this config?


The JVM's garbage collection logs are often valuable in diagnosing performance problems in Hazelcast. Garbage collection (GC) logging is not enabled by default. We recommend you enable GC logging in production environments for performance analysis.

TIP: Do not truncate diagnostics logs. If you must truncate a log, ensure the startup section—containing environment and system details—is included.

Suggest xrefing as that's what we've done with the other sections.
