Dynamic Log Rotation and Compression Pipeline

log management system administration file compression cron jobs
Prompt
Design a sophisticated Bash script that automatically manages log files across multiple directories, implementing intelligent rotation, compression, and archival strategies. The script must support configurable retention periods, dynamically adjust compression levels based on file size, and generate detailed rotation reports. Include error handling for scenarios like insufficient disk space, permission issues, and unexpected file structures. Demonstrate how the script can be integrated with system cron jobs for fully automated log management.
