Hello Abed,

It sounds like you're looking for a log rotation utility. It doesn't appear we have anything that handles this natively, but there are some third-part utilities which could help. See this thread for reference:

> I have set logging.destin kibana.yml, but the log file grows rapidly to the point where in just a few weeks some text editors (e.g. Notepad++) can't open the file because its so big. Is there a way to rotate the log file so that, say, each day the log file name is changed?

Regards,  
Aaron
