Hi Josh,
to confirm what Andreas said, you have the info in this thread
(https://groups.google.com/g/dspace-tech/c/lRr1Nj6TLd8/m/ExUdpzXbAwAJ):
/DSpace will only use the latest log file at any given time. This
latest log file is just called "dspace.log" and is located in the
"log" folder. Any older logs (usually these have a suffix like
"dspace.log-[date]") can be safely compressed/zipped without
impacting DSpace's behavior./
There's currently a PR to enable log compression by default when
rotating the logs.

Best regards,
Abel

Hello Josh,
I believe |dspace.log| is no longer used for statistics. Usage
statistics are kept in Solr and PostgreSQL.
By default, |log4j2.xml| is configured with the |INFO| level. We
reduced this to |WARN| in our environment, which brings down the log
size to 300MB or less per day.
Regarding retention, we usually purge the logs about every other month.
Best,
Andreas

*Subject:* [dspace-tech] dspace.log is still used for statistics on
dspace 9.2?
Hi,
We need to manage disk space for dspace log files. I have two questions:
1. dspace.log is still used for statistics on dspace 9.2? Is it OK to
compress them?
2. Is there a recommendation on how long the log file should be kept?
