Hello,  
After updating Kibana to version 7.13.0 the service works well, but one time a day Kibana stops working after Reloaded logging configuration due to SIGHUP, what is the reason ?

My Kibana configuration file:

```auto
#cat kibana.yml | grep -v '^#'
server.port: 5601
server.host: 0.0.0.0
elasticsearch.hosts: ["http://192.168.x.x:9200", "http://192.168.x.x:9200", "http://192.168.x.x:9200", "http://192.168.x.x:9200"]

elasticsearch.username: "user"
elasticsearch.password: "passwd"

elasticsearch.requestTimeout: 300000

elasticsearch.shardTimeout: 300000

logging.dest: /var/log/kibana/kibana.log

xpack.monitoring.kibana.collection.enabled: true
monitoring.ui.container.elasticsearch.enabled: true

xpack.reporting.csv.maxSizeBytes: 104857600

```

Log file:

```auto
"tags":["info","cli","config"],"pid":7943,"message":"Reloaded logging configuration due to SIGHUP."
"tags":["info","plugins-system"],"pid":7943,"message":"Stopping all plugins."
"tags":["info","plugins","monitoring","monitoring","kibana-monitoring"],"pid":7943,"message":"Monitoring stats collection is stopped"
"tags":["info","plugins-service"],"pid":2583,"message":"Plugin \"timelines\" is disabled."

```

My plugins:

```auto
# /usr/share/kibana/bin/kibana-plugin list
kibanaPrometheusExporter@1.0.0

```

Hi vladimir, sorry to hear that you are having problems. I tried quickly to reproduce the issue by manually sending the SIGHUP signal to the Kibana server process, but I didn't see any problems of it no longer working after handling the signal.

As an alternative to sending the SIGHUP signal, in 7.13.0, you can use the `logging.appenders` config settings to control the file destination of the logs, and a policy for controlling log rotation: [Logging service | Kibana Guide [7.13] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/7.13/logging-service.html#logging-appenders)

Hello Tim,  
Thanks for the answer.  
I've reinstalled kibana and don't see the problem.  
Thank you.
