Apache Tomcat & logrotate
Some linux distribution are shiped without a config for the catalina.out (Tomcat application server) 
$ cat /etc/logrotate.d/tomcat
/var/log/tomcat/base/catalina.out {
compress
copytruncate
create 644 tomcat tomcat
rotate 30
size 4M
}
The catalina.out will be rotated after 4 mb and stored for 30 days (/var/log/tomcat/base/catalina.out.1; /var/log/tomcat/base/catalina.out.2.gz and so on)
