We can specify on what time interval logs need to be generated this will
reduce disk overhead and also becomes very helpful for log auditing
These are the lines which needed to be pasted at rsyslog
/var/log/syslog
{
rotate 1
maxsize 10M
hourly
missingok
notifempty
reload rsyslog >/dev/null 2>&1 || true
endscript
}
And same must be carried out for rest logs
