Nothing. I always use the standard configuration from the services I've installed. If something doesn't work I go into those logs and look what's wrong.
Linux
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Make sure that you have logrotate installed and working, to prevent them from piling up.
Systemd does all that for you. Just set a limit in journal.conf
So does syslog; and really well. Logging is just another thing Lennart tried to take over from a working system, that he and Kay half-delivered, and wandered off. See also: nfsroot, fast boots, easy init config, nfs mounts in general, and cron.
OK boomer
Honestly? I just ignore them. Something seems to be happening to them, as they're not growing infinitely, but no idea why.
It was a bit complicated to set this up, but it took me almost no time at all.
