Elastic Stack Elasticsearch

I want to limit the size of elastic search log file and make it circular by giving the size

Take a look at https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/guide/current/logging.html

Hi Warklom,

I tried the suggestions but i see that the log file is too large it exceeds 2 gb with in 5mins. any other suggestions?

Then perhaps you are trying to solve the wrong problem, as that is a MASSIVE log file.

What are all the entries?

I think i found it, i was using jdbc river to populate documents and I found that it was throwing lots of errors. trying to debug what is causing the issue. thanks for your reply.

FYI rivers are deprecated, so you should move off them ASAP.

ultimately I will move but for my quick start as POC I would like to populate data from sql, any alternative?

https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/plugins-inputs-jdbc.html is our recommended method.
