You can get this information from the command 'get db cfg for <dbname>',
but this is not exposed within the database.
Good luck,

Hrishy,
What Ian says is true.
However (noting you are a newbie : your words) be aware that logs will only
be archived at all if you have set the LOGRETAIN or USEREXIT DB CFG
parameter for the database. The default is to use "circular logging" which
is not really suitable for a production environment.
Note also that the default log path when a database is created is under the
default directory (i.e. in the same disk area as tablespaces are put by
default).
It is a very good idea to change this to another disk : you do this by
"UPDATE DB CFG FOR dbname USING NEWLOGPATH path". Also a good idea to look
at the MIRRORLOGPATH and OVERFLOWLOGPATH parameters, to set up dual logging
and to specify an area to bring back logs from archive which are needed for
rollbacks if infinite logging is enabled.l
