Company standards to maintain the logs in JIRA log folder

Aravind Viswanathan

Hi All,

We have been keeping our logs in JIRA production starting from the date Nov 15, 2019  and the size of the Logs folder "opt/atlassian/jira/logs" is 25G. 

What we see is the access logs that takes most of the storage

du -ch ./*access* |grep total
22G total

So we decided to delete the old logs. However, we would like to know if there are any generic company standards followed by other companies in maintaining the months of logs in JIRA log directory?

Thanks

We can't tell you what your company standards are - we don't work there.

I would strongly recommend that you a) ask your company what their policies are and then b) implement a log-rotate service that will kill off older ones
