I was just looking back through my logs to try to re-measure the current market share of Linux machines accessing my website, and have only just now noticed that all logs older than a few weeks are being automatically deleted. How can I stop them from being deleted in order to measure long-term trends? /etc/apache2/modules.d/00_mod_log_config.conf does not seem to have any settings related to the rotatelogs module that is probably doing this.

apache does this not by itself. https://linux.die.net/man/8/logrotate does.

Check what is in

/etc/logrotate.d/apache2
