I am using rsyslog to read log files and send logs to Elasticsearch. I am looking for ideas on how to delete log files after their content is successfully sent to Elasticsearch.
rsyslog doesn't have any options to remove a file when it's done processing it (rsyslog assumes that it's reading a file that something else is writing to).
What I would suggest is to use something like logger to read the file and deliver the lines to rsyslog, then remove the file after it's all been delivered to rsyslog.
