It is now part of the normal log rotation, with its configuration moved to `/etc/logrotate.d/xapi` (and without the cron task).
:::

`xensource.log` has many particular and different configuration parameters, so another `logrotate` config is used: `/etc/xensource/xapi-logrotate.conf` in a shell script `/opt/xensource/libexec/xapi-logrotate.sh` that executes `logrotate` with this specific config.

There is normally no need to run it manually, a cron task `/etc/cron.d/xapi-logrotate.cron` is present to schedule it each hour.
The goal of this special config is to keep the `xensource.log` files for one month, and to limit the number of log files to 100.
