Hello,

We have a quick question about the managed fluentd that is installed on GKE 
clusters with logging enabled. This particular cluster was created a few 
months ago. The installed fluentd DaemonSet appears to use a 
stackdriver-logging-agent image from around April:

  gcr.io/stackdriver-agents/stackdriver-logging-agent:0.2-1.5.30-1-k8s 
(April 4)

However, on GCR there are a number of images that are newer than this one. 
The latest is 0.4-1.5.35-1-k8s from Aug 16. The fluentd DaemonSet in our 
cluster does not appear to have been modified or updated since the cluster 
was created. Our question is whether it is possible to upgrade the fluentd 
DaemonSet to use a newer image tag, and how to do so. The documentation here 
<https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/debug-application-cluster/logging-stackdriver/#configuring-stackdriver-logging-agents>
 suggests 
that we can't manually modify the DaemonSet through kubectl (it's "managed 
and supported through GKE") -- if so, we are somewhat surprised that the 
fluentd DaemonSet hasn't been upgraded without our intervention.

For context: the reason we are interested in upgrading fluentd is that we 
are experiencing segfaults in the fluent-plugin-google-cloud when exporting 
to Stackdriver. We noticed several somewhat-related issues being fixed in 
ruby-grpc and ruby-protobuf in the meantime, so we would like to try out a 
newer fluentd image to see if that resolves the issue.

Thanks for your help!
