Have persistent logging for pod that restart

When a pod is restarted the logs are lost, and although the pod restarts the events and reason for the pod restart is lost on restart.

This was reported as an issue by customer on Support case TS013048800, where MX Proxy pod in IoT restarts, and IoT MQTT  Device connections are dropped, with a customer claimed data loss.

There is no Must Gather pod logs to determine the possible cause.  If the logs for both of these pods were persistent it might help with the pod restart determination.
