Please always mention your TeamSite version and Operating System details in your question.

There are many log files under iw-home/local/logs directory, which ones do you want to control and what you want to do with the old logs? There are different ways to control it depending on your requirement.

TeamSite 6.7.1.0

I would like to keep 1 month of log file data and have the rest deleted.
Log files which need logs rotating every 1 month

\iw-home\local\logs:-
iwevents.log
iwjoberrors.log
iwtrace.log
iwutild.log

\iw-home\local\logs\iwui:-
access.log
servletd_out.log

So you want to do this monthly, right?

You can either do this manually by shutting down TeamSite services and deleting/renaming the log files and then start the services.
or,
You can write a perl script to do the same and schedule it to run monthly or as required and email the report before and after rotating the log files.

However, your original question as I understood was controlling the log files based on size and not on time.

For 6.7.1 I believe you would need to pretty much create your own custom process:

log files - so you still might need some custom processes to handle everything.

Log rotation script(Draft) I have seen some where in Interwoven site(post, article or Tech Notes and Scripts). Based on your requirement make modification in that file and use it.
