+Packages provide a configuration file for [logrotate](https://linux.die.net/man/8/logrotate)
+on Linux/Unix. Typically this is installed into `/etc/logrotate.d/icinga2`
+and modifications won't be overridden on upgrade.
+
+Instead of sending the reload HUP signal, logrotate
+sends the USR1 signal to notify the Icinga daemon
+that it has rotate the log file. Icinga reopens the log
+files then:
+
+* `/var/log/icinga2/icinga2.log` (requires `mainlog` enabled)
+* `/var/log/icinga2/debug.log` (requires `debuglog` enabled)
+* `/var/log/icinga2/erorr.log`
+
+By default, log files will be rotated daily.
