Hi Everyone  
Brand new to the ELK stack, so far I have been able to send my companies cisco firewall logs to my ELK stack and can view the logs, no visualizations done yet but in the three days I have had it running we have been able to troubleshoot quickly, so management very happy 🙂

My question is the available disk space on the server is going down, am I able to archive some old logs or move them to keep on top of available space

I would imagine there is something in the config files to do this but as new and system is running don't want to break anything at the moment

Thanks in advance for your help  
Mark
