    Hi to everyone,
    why Apache only keep random logs? It is a persistent log loss! I run today

    $ zcat -f /var/log/apache2/access.log.* |wc -l
    8745

    I run the same command tomorrow maybe I get less! Since Sept 2018 till Oct 2019 according to backups I have over 200k hits. Where are the missing?

    Is this normal?
    Cheers!

    You may need to check and ensure that any log rotation configuration for Apache causing the logs to be truncated on a regular basis.
