Hey everyone! I start osquery with
--logger_plugin=kafka_producer,filesystem
to store
INFO\WARN\ERR
logs on local disk, is there any way to limit
osqueryd.results.log
file size? I only want to send
osqueryd.results.log
to kafka.

I wasn't able to figure out a way to limit the size if the logs on the filesystem, other than to tweak the log level, though that only affects the INFO\WARN\ERR logs. https://osquery.readthedocs.io/en/stable/installation/cli-flags/#loggingresults-flags What we decided to do is to just use the tls logger plugin and bypass local logs and just post tls to Fleet, then to Splunk. If you weren't concerned with local status logs, then you could do something similar. with tls, the local results are buffered to rocksDB, and we haven't seen that grow very large at all as they are shipped off to Fleet quickly. The size of my local DB on my mac for example is 6 MB
