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.
