With this the Atlassian Support Tool - Log analyser do not detect this change and try to scan ${HOME}/log/atlassian-jira.log only.

So here we should make sure that JIRA is aware of new LOG directory.

I've raised https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRASERVER-69489 to fix this.

Hardcoding something like a log directory is quite nasty, this really needs to be fixed.
