I have a kafka connector setup in my machine, and it will generate a log in kafka-path/logs/connect.log every day. It also generate a patch of logs such as connect.log.2022-06-15-1, connect.log.2022-06-15-2 at the end of the day.

Is there a option in kafka such that I can keep only 2 weeks of the logs only?

Add a max backup index of 14 https://github.com/apache/kafka/blob/trunk/config/connect-log4j.properties#L29 – OneCricketeer Jul 20 '22 at 13:48
Haven't personally tried it, but yes. – OneCricketeer Jul 20 '22 at 14:38

For kafka connector, you should add `log4j.appender.connectAppender.MaxBackupIndex=14` in `kafka/config/connect-log4j.properties`. – ikhvjs Sep 30 '22 at 15:51
