Where Nexus Repository keeps its logs

Nexus Repository logs to <data-dir>/log/nexus.log on Linux. 2 other Linux log locations are recorded below.

Paths are printed exactly as Nexus Repository writes them. Environment variables like %LOCALAPPDATA% and $XDG_STATE_HOME are never expanded, so a path can be pasted straight into a shell. Where a path differs between installer types or shipping flavours, each one is racked as its own card below - why that happens.
