How long are logs files retained in Confluence?

Question

How long are the log files retained in Confluence (Server version)? Do they stay around until I delete them?

Thanks, Robert. Do you know what happens when all of these files reach 20MB? Is the oldest file removed and replaced by an empty new file? Of do we have to do something manually? I can't find these details in the documentation.

Thanks,
Jae

Confluence keeps 6 log files, 20MB each. You can configure it as decribed here: https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/working-with-confluence-logs-108364721.html
