This configures a request log in `{$jetty.home}/logs` with filenames including the date.
By defaukt, log files are kept for 90 days before being deleted.
Existing log files are appended to and the extended NCSA format is used in the GMT time zone.
To examine many more configuration options, see link:{JDURL}/org/eclipse/jetty/server/NCSARequestLog.html[NCSARequestLog.java].
You can customize the number of days you wish to keep request logs.
By default, log files are kept for 90 days before being deleted.
The value for `retainDays` (xml) or `setRetainDays` (Java) should be configured as _1 + n_ days.
For example, if you wanted to keep the logs for the current day and the day prior you would set the `retainDays` (or `setRetainDays`) value to 2.
