There are other ways to capture or store logs... Tools or toolsets like
Telegraf.
OT but could be of help
Thank you Mr. Funk.
My request is two-folds a) archive the log files elsewhere (not the "logs"
folder) based on some policy b) clean up (delete) the archived files based on
some policy.
If I'm not mistaken, your suggestion may address the latter but nothing on the
former?
Thanks and regards,

Personally. I rely on a daily cron with a find by time and the -delete flag.
Where the time to keeps is based on policy.
