Hello Team,

From the Bugzilla https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1595375, I am able to understand the below.

---
Foreman maintain does log rotate.

Default file size set to 10000KB in /etc/foreman-maintain/foreman_maintain.yml using log_file_size option.

Once file size reach to this limit, it will rotate the log file i.e creates backup log file for old logs - /var/log/foreman-maintain/foreman-maintain.log.0 and continue logging into /var/log/foreman-maintain/foreman-maintain.log file.
---

I want to confirm whether the files stored in /var/log/foreman-maintain/*.log.* will be removed ever or not. Is there any limit set for the same somewhere?
