i'm wondering how / if there is support for automatic compression of
elasticsearch.log via logging.yml.
it looks like there might be via issue #7927
[https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/issues/7927](https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/issues/7927) and this PR#8464
[https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/pull/8464](https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/pull/8464) ...but maybe limited
to v1.5?
ideally, i'd like to see a logging.yml syntax example and clarification of
what version(s) it works in
thanks in advance!
