Hi @BK 

You can check when confluence was stopped/started in confluence-application.log which can be found in the <local-home>/logs directory.

du -sh /opt/confluence/bin will give you the space consumed by /opt/confluence/bin directory.

Login to the confluence server via putty and then navigate to your <local-home>/logs directory and view the confluence-application.log. And search for string like "Catalina.start" in it.

Hi @Kishan Sharma 

Is this confluence-application.log  is same like /opt/confluencehome/logs/atlassian-confluence.log or any other 

Please update me

[Kishan Sharma]

Yes, its the same.

Thanks @Kishan Sharma 

Then how to get logs from this month starting , when I was seen there's only this week logs are available. 

Please update me. 

[Kishan Sharma]

If you are not retaining the logs, you might not get that data. Please refer this link to know how you can increase the size and number of logs. You can write a script to move the logs to some other location for backup purpose and set a cronjob so that the script runs at a scheduled time.

Hi @Kishan Sharma 

Is Catalina. Startup.catalina.load server

Or catalina.start

Here showing catalina.startup.catalina.start server startup

[Kishan Sharma]

Yes the timestamp shown for that line "catalina.startup.catalina.start" is when the confluence is started.

[BK]

So I  need to count 

"catalina.startup.catalina.start " this one for number of times confluence restart right @Kishan Sharma 

[Kishan Sharma]

Thats correct @BK 

[BK]

Hi @Kishan Sharma 

I gave this  output to my TL

He asked linux command (grep 'catalina.start' directory ) 

He satisfied with output 

Thanks @Kishan Sharma 

[Kishan Sharma]

That's great @BK :)
