I am using kong file log for fluent-bit side-car.  
The log is created inside the kong container, but is not deleted.  
I looked for the settings, but only the log settings were found, but I couldn’t find the rotate or delete settings.  
What settings are necessary to periodically clear the file log in the kong container?

[ENV]  
Kubernetes: v1.18.1  
kong:2.1  
kong-ingress-controller:0.9.1  
fluent-bit:1.5

[Configuration]  
prefix: /usr/local/kong/  
proxy\_error\_log: logs/proxy\_error.log  
admin\_error\_log: logs/admin\_error.log

Thank you for all…

I found this  
Kong still doesn’t support log rotate?  
Is there any plan to support?  
I want to kong container image need to include logrotate.

Just to clarify: it isn’t Kong’s responsibility to rotate logs but yours. Kong _can_ rotate logs just like NGINX does (Kong _is_ NGINX). If you want to rotate Kong’s logs, do it the same way you would rotate NGINX’s logs.
