Perhaps this will help:
Standard method for log maintenance outside of org is to rotate logs into
archive. The current log is only for the current day (or month, week, or
year). Other criteria, such as log size, can be used to trigger rotation.
Rotation cuts off the current log, archives it, possibly deletes truly
ancient logs, and starts a new current log. Look up the Linux logrotate
command for further info. Here's one description:
