For me, I am using a very stupid way to do rotate daily. My index is named 'XXX-2013-08-11' and I use crontab to run DELETE command by curl. It's simple & stupid but very userful. 🙂 在 2013年8月12日星期一UTC+8下午2时16分16秒，Vijay Prabhakar写道： > Hi Team, > > Can you please guide me how to configure hourly log rotation for Elastic > Search. ..? > > Thanks, > Vijay -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

You can use logrotate, eg [HowTo: The Ultimate Logrotate Command Tutorial with 10 Examples](http://www.thegeekstuff.com/2010/07/logrotate-examples/).
