Usually, this is done by logrotate or a similar mechanism in your system. You’ll likely find that other logs in your system follow a similar pattern, not just Postgresql.
Stephen, Other logs, controlled by logrotate, rotate daily for a maximum of 4 backups. I just checked /etc/logrotate.d/postgres and it was set at daily with rotate 7. I changed rotate to 4 but the dates are 3-4 days apart, not sequential. Thanks, Rich
