Monitoring Splunk

About rotate settings of internal log(splunkd etc...)

I checked rotation's timing of the internal log with reference to the manual and log.cfg etc, but I could not find a description about rotate in the following logs.

django_access.log
django_error.log
django_service.log
python.log
splunkd_stderr.log
splunkd_stdout.log
web_access.log
web_service.log

Where is information on the rotation of these files?

Or I think that it is configured in log4j format.
And the default setting of log4j is like below.

Maximum size: 10 MB
Number of stored rotated files: 1

So are these logs also default settings?

If anyone tell me about it, I'm appreciated.
