--disable_watchdog=false

is the default state for that flag, so you don't have to touch it or set it anywhere. If you wanted to make it

=true

then you should set it in the flagfile. The normal performance limits allow the daemon to use about 60% of single CPU for 9s and up to 200MB of estimated private virtual memory. When a query stops running that may have been intense you will see a drop back to 0% CPU utilization and the OS will determine how much memory is kept. There are not log cleanup features, check out log rotate/new syslog: http://osquery.readthedocs.io/en/stable/deployment/configuration/#chef-os-x-macos to rotate files
