Hi @Fahad Siddiqui ,

Jira makes use of log4j, so you should find information about your logs in 

<JIRA_INSTALL>/atlassian-jira/WEB-INF/classes/log4j.properties

Kind regards,

can you share the steps

[Rafael Pinto Sperafico]

Hi @Fahad Siddiqui ,

Here is an example:

log4j.appender.filelog.File=atlassian-jira.log
log4j.appender.filelog.MaxFileSize=20480KB
log4j.appender.filelog.MaxBackupIndex=10

MaxFileSize indicates the maximum size of file while MaxBackupIndex indicates the amount of files to be kept in the log folder.

If you are referring to catalina.out, then you should review information provided by @robert Mugabuhamye .

Kind regards,
Rafael
