title: 'Ensure Logrotate Runs Periodically'
description: |-
The <tt>logrotate</tt> utility allows for the automatic rotation of
log files. The frequency of rotation is specified in <tt>/etc/logrotate.conf</tt>,
which triggers a cron task or a timer. To configure logrotate to run daily, add or correct
the following line in <tt>/etc/logrotate.conf</tt>:
<pre># rotate log files <i>frequency</i>
daily</pre>
rationale: |-
Log files that are not properly rotated run the risk of growing so large
that they fill up the /var/log partition. Valuable logging information could be lost
if the /var/log partition becomes full.
