My experience has been that logrotate is already installed and 
configured by default during a server install.  And so it may be on your 
machine.  But this is not a certainty.

There are quite a few conditions relevant to your particular machine 
(e.g., "df -H") and many configuration options.  Since your are 
obviously brand new to logrotate, you should do some reading and 
investigation on your own.  Start off with "man logrotate" and googling 
for "logrotate centos redhat".  There might also be info for you on the 
centos wiki.

If/When you have more specific questions, then it would be beneficial to 
post them here on this list.
