Microsoft FTP Service logs file deleted after 5 days

We have a problem with Plesk Panel 10.0.1, the log files of Microsoft FTP Service will be deleted after 5 days!

So in the website folder "Servers", with the right ftp server number (x:\xxx\vhosts\Servers\nn\logs\FTPSVCnn ) i found the logs only of the last 4 days!

I have deeply search in every panel section and helpfiles, but i don't have found a logs retentions/rotation settings for ftp server.

For all other log, the rotation settings in General or Domain specific settings are daily and maximum number of logfiles is 9999 days.

I think that the daily maintenance task delete or archive somewhere the log files, but i don't know where.

Is my old logfiles lost?

The "ftpstat" folder in the statistics subdir of every domain is empty.

Someone have experience similar problem?

This is a big problem because the ftp intrusion is much more frequent that in the past, mainly for stupid user or weak ftp password chosen users, but without a long-time log retention of ftp, investigating is impossible.

Any help is very appreciated!
