A good idea.

We take a different approach here:  we have a nightly cron job that
moves older logs to a Zip archive, leaving the last couple of days in
case we want to inspect recent messages without unpacking.

You can combine approaches:  let Log4J compress the logs at rotation
and later a cron job simply stores them in an archive or whatever.
I've done that with another product.
