Hi,

I am using ES 5.6. I want to enable log rotation of elasticsearch.log, elasticsearch\_index\_search\_slowlog.log and elasticsearch\_index\_indexing\_slowlog.log

I learnt that its taken care from log4j2.properties but I need control of the configuration. Any idea how to tweak logging from log4j2.properties or should we enable linux logroation?
