We currently deployed Elasticsearch 5.3 to QA site with default log4j2.properties that came with the package.
Within a week Elasticsearch log files exceeded 260 GB of space which crashed the server.
How can i delete the log files which are older then 3 days and also limit the size of files?
Since ES just uses log4j2, you can configure the logging to do periodic log rollover via log4j2's config. Or use an external tool like logrotate, etc
@polyfractal : I upgraded Elasticsearch from v1.7.1 to ES 5.3. In v1.7.1 , we used maxbackupindex and set to 7 to delete the log files that are older then 7 days.
How can we configure log4j2 to delete the old log files ?
