Hi!

Can you give a bit more context to your request?
Are you collecting the Kibana log file using Filebeat or Elastic Agent and sending the log lines into Elasticsearch?
Do you want to rotate the index in Elasticsearch daily? Have you looked at using ILM policies for this?

Here you go - please notice that you need to alter the service file:
Cfr. How to disable saving Kibana logs to /var/log/kibana

logging:

Hi @chouben

But I don't want to disable log file that save in /var/log/kibana

I want log in same but daily rotation wise

To alter the config, you need to disable the default config.

So if you want to keep using the path /var/log/kibana, just configure it in kibana.yml with above config.

Hi @chouben

Is there any doc for this?

All info I have is in my first post: 2 threads to similar questions.

Docs seem to indicate there is only default logging:
