No default maxDays value found for access log valve.
Is there any recommandation for the maxDays ? Can I turn off localhost_access_log?

localhost_access_log contains access information to Tomcat (one specific URL per line), and it can be used for audit. Do not turn off localhost_access_log.
There is no recommandation for maxDays setting (to clean up localhost_access_log), as it depends on system and workload. Site can test for serveral days and count how much localhost_access_log can resume and set maxDays accordingly.
The other way is to allocate HFS and mount it on the $tomcat/logs directory, and just clean it up when it runs out of space.
