| Salt Logrotate Formula |
| ====================== |
| |
| Logrotate is designed to ease administration of systems that generate |
| large numbers of log files. It allows automatic rotation, compression, |
| removal, and mailing of log files. Each log file may be handled daily, |
| weekly, monthly, or when it grows too large. |
| |
