You can find answer for your question (and examples) on page:

Size-based file archival - log files can be automatically archived by moving them to another location after reaching certain size and

Time-based file archival - log files can calso be automatically archived based on time

Try to use the second one and change log files every days. Than you can keep maximum number of archived files.
