Simple logrotate - make your log file archieve

If you want to make your log files archieve, you can create file in /etc/logrotate.d, those files will be included in logrotate.conf
Here is the file sample:

/var/log/linuxserver/linux.log {
        rotate 7
        daily
        compress
        delaycompress
        missingok
        notifempty
        create 660 linuxuser linuxuser } 

This config file will run daily, create maximum 7 archives owned by linuxuser 
and linuxuser group with 660 permissions,compress all logs and exclude only yesterdays and empty log files.
Here are some selected logrotate configuration keywords.

daily	Log files are rotated every day.
weekly	Log files are rotated if the current weekday is less than the weekday of the last rotation or if more than a week has passed since the last rotation. This is normally the same as rotating logs on the first day of the week, but if logrotate is not being run every night a log rotation will happen at the first valid opportunity.
monthly	Log files are rotated the first time logrotate is run in a month (this is normally on the first day of the month).
notifempty	Do not rotate the log if it is empty (this overrides the ifempty option).
nocompress	Old versions of log files are not compressed.
delaycompress	Postpone compression of the previous log file to the next rotation cycle. This only has effect when used in combination with compress. It can be used when some program cannot be told to close its logfile and thus might continue writing to the previous log file for some time.
compress	Old versions of log files are compressed with gzip by default.
mail address	When a log is rotated out of existence, it is mailed to address. If no mail should be generated by a particular log, the nomail directive may be used.
missingok	If the log file is missing, go on to the next one without issuing an error message.

To run the logrotate manually, issue the command:
logrotate -v /etc/logrotate.conf
