How often do you rotate the logs today?
Maybe you can do it more often, change "monthly" to
"weekly" in /etc/logrotate.conf
man logrotate will tell you how to rotate based on
size. If the log file gets to 2G in one day you might
need to move the file logrotate from /etc/cron.daily
to /etc/cron.hourly
