Deletion of logs of filebeat client side

Elastic Stack Beats

Is there a way where, logs on the source server are deleted after getting streamed. Like-- currently we have hourly logs on the source, which keeps rotating every hour. And currently I have Filebeats installed on these servers to stream all the logs to a central place and have an ignore_older of 30m, which I believe filebeat will have an open handler till this time(ignore_older).--I think this means if filebeat is down for more than ignorE_older

How about deleting the log files? after making sure the whole log is successfully streamed?

Beats cannot do this, given you are using something else to roll the logs already, you should be able to delete them with that.
