@serbaut I agree with reducing the size.
However, I suggest to
(1) remove the delaycompress, then the files like syslog.1 or rsyslog.1
will be compressed.
(2) keep rotate , as the compressed file are quite small (< 1MB). Keeping
more compressing files (especially cloud.log) will be helpful for
troubleshooting in case we have some issues.

> Key: CLOUDSTACK-9746
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLOUDSTACK-9746
> Project: CloudStack
> Issue Type: Bug
> Security Level: Public(Anyone can view this level - this is the
> default.)
> Components: SystemVM
> Affects Versions: 4.8.0, 4.9.0
> Reporter: Joakim Sernbrant
> Priority: Critical
>
> CLOUDSTACK-6885 changed logrotate from time based to size based. This means
> that logs will grow up to its size times two (due to delaycompress).
> For example:
> 50M auth.log
> 50M auth.log.1
> 10M cloud.log
> 10M cloud.log.1
> 50M cron.log
> 50M cron.log.1
> 50M messages
> 50M messages.1
> ...
> Some files will grow slowly but eventually they will get to their max size.
> The total allowed log size with the current config is well beyond the size of
> the log partition.
> Having a full /dev/log puts the VR in a state where operations on it
> critically fails.
