Hi, is there any kind of log rotation implemented for kibana? Looks to me that kibana is the only compontent of elastic stack which cannot handle it - or did I miss sth? Thanks, Andreas ---

There is nothing built into kibana for rotating log files. However, there are many OS level commands for managing logs. For example, on linux give [logrotate](https://linux.die.net/man/8/logrotate) a try. Cheers Rashmi ---
