How to implement Log File Rotation in Linux Servers

NB: We are using CentOS Servers
  1. Switch to root user
  2. cd /etc/logrotate.d/  (by default we will be having this directory in our server)
  3. create a new file project-logs   vi project-logs
  4. Add the following piece of code to this file
            /folder-path-of-your-log/*.log {
               size=10M
               missingok
               rotate 20
               compress
               delaycompress
               notifempty
               copytruncate
              daily
          }
     5.  logrotate -f /etc/logrotate.d/

       
This will create new log files once the log file size reaches 10MB.
