How can I define how old logs should rsyslog keep?


I was wondering how could I specify for how long the logs will be kept. Rsyslog doesn't have such an option (at least I didn't find it).

Do I have to use logrotate for this, or is there some other option?

Yes, AFAIK, you must use logrotate for this.
