Generally you may configure system-specific logs in /etc/logrotate.conf
However it is always good to have a service file in /etc/logrotate.d
For the sake of clarity
The binary responsible for log rotation is
/usr/sbin/logrotate
It takes /etc/logrotate.conf
which has a
include /etc/logrotate.d
directive ;which is by default enabled.It would be more sensible to have a service based file in /etc/logrotate.d
