This rather is a question about svlogd from the runit package that
socklog.  It has been discussed a few times on the [email protected]
mailing list, comments on multilog apply to svlogd also.  E.g.:

Why do you need?  I would advise to make use of the great feature of
multilog and svlogd that allows you to calculate the maximum space used
for logs.  If you rotate logs on a daily basis only, you cannot ensure
this limit; a service (probably misconfigured or broken) can produce a
huge amount of logs in one day.
