Parameters such as `minsize` and `rotate` can be changed depending on the `log_level` set in `rippled.cfg`. This sample script is based on standard `log_level` and will store approximately 2 weeks worth of logs in a compressed format.
**Note:** Only one system logrotate script should exist per application. Please ensure that you do not have any other log rotation that handles the same directory.
