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/syslog is the configuration file used to rotate log files created by syslog or rsyslog.

Review /etc/logrotate.conf and /etc/logrotate.d/* and verify logs are rotated according to site policy.
