ElasticSearch log management

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Does ElasticSearch roll logs? Does it create new log with different name
everyday?
I would like to know how to manage logs, I would like to keep last 10 days
worth of logs, but not more that that, as they can be very big.
Any ideas What Elasticsearch already does and what I need to do in order to
manage logs?

Elasticsearch uses log4j for logging, so all logging configuration can be
done via the log4j config file logging.xml

https://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/blob/master/config/logging.yml

The default type is dailyRollingFile, which as the name states, rotates the
log file daily.

We need them deleted after the right amount of time so its easier for us to
just let logrotate do everything:
http://git.wikimedia.org/blob/operations%2Fpuppet.git/production/modules%2Felasticsearch%2Ffiles%2Flogrotate
http://git.wikimedia.org/blob/operations%2Fpuppet.git/production/modules%2Felasticsearch%2Ftemplates%2Flogging.yml.erb

That last one is an erb file so don't use it verbatim - just use it for
inspiration if you need it.

Thanks, So do you keep all the logs? How do you delete old ones?
