Hi! I save logs  
if [type] == "tibco\_4" {  
file {  
path =\> "/opt/GET\_TRACE/ELK/tibco\_4/%{source}"  
codec =\> line { format =\> "custom format: %{message}"}  
gzip=\> true  
}  
}  
but in my directory /opt/GET\_TRACE/ELK/tibco\_4 I see:  
1.3G esb-esbCore-ems.log  
18M iPayGateway-iPayGateway-ems.log  
1.6G partnergateway-PartnerGatewayCs-ems.log  
Hove I can rotate my logs? SIZE? Time?
