Filr 1.1 Large Deployment Install Log Cleanup

Question

Just installed large deployment option of filr 1.1... all seems to work fine. I have read a few places in the documentation that the filr administrator should routinely delete log files from /var on the search appliances and the filr appliance...Does anyone have a best practice on doing this without periodic manual intervention.. I was thinking of creating a cron job to maybe delete all the log files in these log directories... Anyone have a "best practice" idea on how they may do this currently ?? or any suggestions of a better way ?... and any other locations of log files that should be routinely cleaned out
Thanks in advance

If you're using Filr 1.1 then that should have log rotation configured.
There is TID 7014626[1] which covers this for Filr 1.0.x.
