I do not like using journalctl to read such logs so I allow a command to run 
to
use the older method and that way I can just look at an individual log file.

So I run logrotate for all including all server functions including mysql, 
db2,
oracle, http, ftp, BBS and the mainframe VM's along with the various security
applications.
