Automated Multi-Environment Log Rotation and Compression Script

log management bash scripting automation system administration
Prompt
Design a robust Bash script that automatically manages log rotation, compression, and archival across multiple server environments. The script must handle different log sizes, compress logs older than 7 days using optimal compression algorithms, ensure no log data loss during rotation, and provide detailed logging of its own operations. Include error handling for scenarios like insufficient disk space, permission issues, and network-based log storage. The solution should be configurable via a central YAML configuration file and support both local and remote log management.
