How long does the server keep access log files?
Today I accessed my server log files and noticed they only go back to August 19th. Are access log files automatically dumped after a month?
If so, is there any way to recover them?

It depends how log rotation is configured. In unix environments this task usually delegated to the logrotate daemon.
