Automated Log Rotation and Compression Script

log management system administration disk optimization automation
Prompt
Design a robust Bash script that implements intelligent log rotation for multiple application logs, with compression, retention policy, and error handling. The script must support configurable retention periods, handle logs from different sources (web servers, database systems, custom applications), and provide detailed logging of rotation activities. Include mechanisms to handle large log files, prevent disk space overflow, and generate summary reports of rotated logs.
