I have deployed elasticsearch cluster in GCP with one master and data-ingest nodes.  
What is the default log rotation policy. How frequently logs are rotated?  
How much logs will be collected in pvc?

Hi,

It seems to be a duplicated question, see [ES operator log rotation](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/es-operator-log-rotation/256494/4)

By default logs are not stored in a persistent volume, they are written to `stdout` and `stderr`. You can use [Filebeat](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/cloud-on-k8s/current/k8s-beat-quickstart.html) to store them in an Elasticsearch cluster.
