That question is up to you to answer. How far back do you want to be able to look? What do you do with your log files? As you no doubt have realized, more logs take more space and so you can't just keep everything, but generally the more the better. As a data point that may or may not be good advice for you, we keep a week's worth of log files, but mostly that's just for paranoia. We do all our processing in real-time or the day after.
