Standard method for log maintenance outside of org is to rotate logs int=
o  =

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=
.  =

ancient logs, and starts a new current log. Look up the Linux logrotate =

command for further info. Here's one description:  =
