The system includes the capability of rotating log files regularly to avoid filling up the system with logs or making the logs unmanageable large. The file /etc/logrotate.d/rsyslog is the configuration file used to rotate log files created by rsyslog.
Rationale:
By keeping the log files smaller and more manageable, a system administrator can easily archive these files to another system and spend less time looking through inordinately large log files.
Parameter:
[log_runs_daily/log_runs_weekly/log_runs_monthly]
Technical Mechanism:
Edit the /etc/logrotate.d/rsyslog file to include appropriate system logs according to your site policy.
