log rotation - how many files are kept?

Hello,

I'm aware that nagios is able to copy the nagios.log file to the 
archives directory on an hourly/daily/weekly/monthly basis. It seems 
that nagios keeps that files forever since I've got 11 archived weekly 
logs. But the word 'rotation' suggests that at some time the old ones 
are removed and replaced by newer logs. Is this the case? I searched the 
mailing list and the documentation but I couldn't find the answer.

Thanks in advance,

Stijn Gruwier
