this is the date in the first line of the file `time":"2020-06-03T00:00:15.288Z`

I have not changed anything in the server, definitely not from this date on, theoretically everything should be configured the same way as when I started, I have not changed much in the server except something in terms of firewall and security

I’m not sure if I should check the logorate tool, but the content looks correct:

```
# see "man logrotate" for details
# rotate log files weekly
weekly

# use the syslog group by default, since this is the owning group
# of /var/log/syslog.
su root syslog

# keep 4 weeks worth of backlogs
rotate 4

# create new (empty) log files after rotating old ones
create

# uncomment this if you want your log files compressed
#compress

# packages drop log rotation information into this directory
include /etc/logrotate.d

# no packages own wtmp, or btmp -- we'll rotate them here
/var/log/wtmp {
    missingok
    monthly
    create 0664 root utmp
    rotate 1
}

/var/log/btmp {
    missingok
    monthly
    create 0660 root utmp
    rotate 1
}

# system-specific logs may be configured here
```
