How do I change the retention period for the log files from 1 day to 5? 

<!-- Enable features -->
<featureManager>
    <feature>localConnector-1.0</feature>
    <feature>webProfile-7.0</feature>
</featureManager>

// will get server location

// Name of the file

<!-- To access this server from a remote client add a host attribute to the following element, e.g. host="*" -->
<httpEndpoint id="defaultHttpEndpoint" httpPort="9077" httpsPort="94710" />
<variable name="defaultHostName" value="000001" />

<!-- Automatically expand WAR files and EAR files -->
<applicationManager autoExpand="true"/>
<enterpriseApplication id="Tiii.ear" location="Tiii.ear" name="Tiii_EAR"/>
<logging maxFileSize="20" maxFiles="4" copySystemStreams="false"/>

How long the log files are retained for is configurable in number of files (maxFiles which you already have configured) rather than number of days. Given that you mention you are currently seeing the files retained for about 1 day, an approximation would be to increase maxFiles from 4 to 20. If that isn't sufficient, and you have a requirement for exactly 5 days, then you can open an a feature request against Open Liberty here: https://github.com/OpenLiberty/open-liberty/issues/new/choose
