Automated Log Rotation and Compression Pipeline

log management automation system administration data retention
Prompt
Design a Bash script that automatically rotates, compresses, and archives log files across multiple directories. The script must handle files larger than 100MB, implement a retention policy of 30 days, and generate a detailed report of actions taken. Include error handling for permission issues and disk space constraints. The solution should be configurable via a centralized JSON configuration file and support multiple log formats (txt, json, csv).
