To be clear 'log' is the name of the directory that holds the logs. The
log files themselves are named according to some pattern generally. The
default is:

https://www.postgresql.org/docs/12/runtime-config-logging.html#RUNTIME-CONFIG-LOGGING-WHERE

log_filename
The default is postgresql-%Y-%m-%d_%H%M%S.log
