No, only wtmp will be rotated by default. Take a look in /etc/logrotate.d what else might get rotated.

I'd want this log be emptied everyday, at a certain hour, and old log files be archived everyday.
The script and log path is /root.
What does the very first line in your logrotate.conf say? Did you read it? Did you understand it? If not, post concrete questions, but don't ask us to do your work.

I changed the logrotate.conf file to make a new log file to be automatically rotated daily. But after a night, I have not seen the rotated file.
When does this rotation happen? I mean what is the exact time?
In addition, do I have to restart what deamon to make the change take effect? (10 Replies)

scanlogs
SCANLOGS(8) System Manager's Manual SCANLOGS(8)
NAME
scanlogs - summarize INN log files.
SYNOPSIS
scanlogs [ norotate ] [ nonn ]
DESCRIPTION
Scanlogs summarizes the information recorded in the INN log files (see newslog(5)). By default, it also rotates and cleans out the logs.
It is normally invoked by the news.daily(8) script.
KEYWORDS
The following keywords are accepted:
norotate
Using this keyword disables the rotating and cleaning aspect of the log processing: the logs files are only scanned for information
and no contents are altered.
nonn Normally the nn log file is scanned and rotated. Using this keyword disables this function.
If scanlogs is invoked more than once a day, the ``norotate'' keyword should be used to prevent premature log cleaning.
