Is there a recommended way to log metrics (as noted in the standard NR documentaion for logging) for instances hosted in self-hosted FlowFuse? I am not sure if manual editing of the settings.js file is advised. Thanks

That's not currently possible with FlowFuse. Manually updating the settings.js file isn't advised either -- it should be FlowFuse managed.
