Do you really mean you "need to keep logs for every 3 months"?<br>
<br>
Or do you mean that you need to keep "the most recent 3 months' logs"?<br>
<br>
I would recommend that you rotate every month, and keep 4 months' logs.<br>
<br>
Firstly, there's no point in letting indivdual log files grow too large, and <br>
secondly, you then know that at all times you have the current month's logs, <br>
plus the previous 3 months, until the fourth one gets deleted by logrotate.<br>
<br>
