The size of the log files in /var/log gets out of hand

[Abhilash]

Thankfully it's a rare problem, but anyway: some errors create huge log files, causing rapid loss of disk space.

We can specify on what time interval logs need to be generated this will reduce disk overhead and also becomes very helpful for log auditing

These are the lines which needed to be pasted at rsyslog

/var/log/syslog
 {
         rotate 1
         maxsize 10M
         hourly
         missingok
         notifempty
         reload rsyslog >/dev/null 2>&1 || true
         endscript
 }

And same must be carried out for rest logs
