```

`compress` with `delaycompress` will keep last log file uncompressed until next rotation, so you will have production.log (current log) and production.log.1 (last log) and production.log.2.gzip.

`copytruncate` truncate existing log instead of copying, meaning any apps which are using log can continue to do so without opening a new log file.

`weekly` and `rotate 128` will keep ~2 years worth of logs.
