Description

Manages log rotation so system and service log files do not grow forever. It can compress, rename, remove, and create logs according to scheduled rules defined by the system or installed packages.

Keep it on machines that write regular log files, especially servers and long-running desktops. It runs automatically through scheduled jobs and normally does not need direct user interaction.
