I set ES to be the storage of Skywalking, But why are there so many skywalking-api logs in /opt/agent/skywalking/logs in the pod?

Why don't you look at it by yourself? Reading logs is not a hard thing.

[wu-sheng]

Did you have experience to run any applications? Again, this is skywalking logs, not your logs.

[zhangzx1996]

What does it matter? My request is to reduce the disk usage. I have configured the Skywalking log level to be error, but the skywalking-api.log usage is very high. I only want to store the data in ES. How can I remove the Skywalking logs?

[wu-sheng]

Your words make me feeling, you have very limited experience to operate a system.Please reach someone more senior in your team, and try to understand what is the system itself logs.

This is a log4j output for Java application. This time, it is for skywalking oap.
Elasticsearch keeps the data for your telemetry.
They are not related. But it seems hard to be understood by you.

LOL，I can really learn a lot of YINYANG words from chatting with you!
I know it is the log output by Skywalking. My purpose is to turn off the printing of log4j2.xml, but I did not find where the xml of skywalking-api.log is defined in the code.

If you feel in that way, I can't see any point to continue this.

You keep ignoring my saying, then that's it.
