I want to change the default file permission of logstash's log files as 600, currently it is 644. In **logstash.yml** file I found only the file path and log level related information but I didn't get any file permission related info. so can any one suggest how to change it? ---

You may be able to adjust it in the log4j2 configuration. See [here](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-1699). ---
