Which log files are you referring to?

Tomcat's default logging mechanism will simply rotate files. It does not perform any cleanup or archival. If you want those features, you have two choices … 1.) Setup a cron job to cleanup or archive old log files. 2.) Use Tomcat's log4j support. Log4j supports cleanup and archival. https://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/logging.html#Using_Log4j There's probably other things you can do as well. Those are just the first two that popped into my head.
