If you want to expose your own system to abuse, you can set umask as

Is there a way to like config some param to force tomcat write logs in old way
?and could you please give me a doc url about how set umask for tomcat run user
??
You might want to start here :
http://lmgtfy.com/?q=linux+umask+command
Then, you may need to find out which command or shell script, *on your Linux system*, is
starting Tomcat, and insert the desired umask command there.
But please consider the remarks made previously by Chuck.
Logfiles may contain information which you do not want to disclose to other than a system
administrator. By making these files widely readable, you weaken the security of your
whole server and perhaps much more.
Be aware also, that by setting the umask for the Tomcat process, you are influencing the
permissions of *any* file which Tomcat itself, or any Tomcat webapp would create.

Subject: tomat8.5 write logs with incorret os permission
When using tomcat8.0, it starts and write logs as follows:
(apache-tomcat-8.0.x) -rw-rw-r-- 1 app app 873710 Aug 4 20:08 catalina.log
When using tomcat8.5.x (include tomcat 9.0.x), it starts and write logs as
follows:
(apache-tomcat-8.5.4) -rw-r----- 1 app app 100824 Aug 4 20:10 catalina.log
A highly appropriate change, much needed to prevent untrusted users from
accessing private information in the log.
So, tomcat8.5 caused other os users can not read its logs and webapps logs that
deployed
at tomcat8.5. the logs files should has permission 664, not 640.
Definitely not a good idea.
I thinks it is not good for java webapp devlopers , when my web app write logs
as
data log, the logs files can not rsync by other users and hosts.
As it should be.
but it works at tomcat7.0.x and tomcat8.0.x
"Works" is your definition; any site interested at all in secure operations
would consider the old permissions to be dangerous and broken.
So I asked users to require further support for tomcat8.x write log files
feature.
Definitely a bad idea to relax the default permissions back to where they were.
If you want to expose your own system to abuse, you can set umask as
