FYI
I was looking into a certificate issue today and discovered that I have
over 800 letsencrypt log files on my CentOS 7 machine. After some
poking around, I found this in the certbot documentation:
"By default certbot stores status logs in /var/log/letsencrypt. By
default certbot will begin rotating logs once there are 1000 logs in the
log directory. Meaning that once 1000 files are in /var/log/letsencrypt
Certbot will delete the oldest one to make room for new logs. The number
of subsequent logs can be changed by passing the desired number to the
command line flag --max-log-backups.
Note
Some distributions, including Debian and Ubuntu, disable certbot’s
internal log rotation in favor of a more traditional logrotate script.
If you are using a distribution’s packages and want to alter the log
rotation, check /etc/logrotate.d/ for a certbot rotation script."
So, if you see a hundreds of letsencrypt.log files in
/var/log/letsencrypt, that may very well be normal.
