Debian Auth.log resets
So I use Debian 9 on Digital Ocean and I have noticed that approximately ever week, the /var/log/auth.log will clear out all previous logs. I believe that we this is because of logrotate. Can someone help/tell me how I can figure out the default number of days between each time the log is cleared out or something?
