[artifactory] Option to rotate nginx logs in HA setup on GKE with helm

Is this a request for help?:

Is this a BUG REPORT or FEATURE REQUEST? (choose one):
FEATURE REQUEST

Version of Helm and Kubernetes:
HELM_VERSION: '3'
KUBERNETES_VERSION: '1.18.20-gke.901'

Which chart:
ARTIFACTORY_HELM_CHART_VERSION: '4.10.0'
ARTIFACTORY_VERSION: '7.16.3'

What happened:

At the moment we are running Artifactory HA on GKE. The issue we are facing is that there is no options to enable log rotation for the following nginx log /var/opt/jfrog/nginx/logs/access.log. We have large number of users and activity, so approximate average log growth is ~2.5GB per day. After about a month the nginx pod get evicted by kubernetes. We run 3 pods and this is consistent across all of them.

When pods get evicted kubernetest spins up new ones. However, the danger is that all 3 get evicted at the same time and we get an outage.

What you expected to happen:

We would like to be able to have an option in helm chart to rotate logs.

How to reproduce it (as minimally and precisely as possible):

• Deploy Artifactory HA with NginX to k8s.
• Create a script that will continually invoke actions on nginx (e.g. download/upload, etc)
• Watch the /var/opt/jfrog/nginx/logs/access.log grow indefinitely or its pod get evicted by k8s if that option is configured

Anything else we need to know:

As a background, we have raised this in JFrog support ticket #187751 and support have suggested that this would be a good candidate for feature request.
