How to implement Logrotate mechansim based on Size?

Hi,

I have a situation like below.

I should implement a log rotate mechanism for 2 files in a particular directory. But this based on size.

If file crosses 2MB size, then i should tar it and store it based on timestamp.


Could you please provide me some suggestion for the same?

Thanks very much!!!
