How often do you rotate the logs today?
Maybe you can do it more often, change "monthly" to "weekly" in /etc/logrotate.conf
man logrotate will tell you how to rotate based on size. If the log file gets to 2G in one day you might need to move the file logrotate from /etc/cron.daily to /etc/cron.hourly

Or move the log for resourcehogd from /var/log/hog.log to /dev/null 2>&1 and forget about rotating the damn thing.

i tried this in my logrotate but still it doesn't rotate by size here's my squid logrotate file
/var/log/squid/access.log { # weekly rotate 5 copytruncate compress notifempty missingok size=1000M postrotate /usr/sbin/squid -k rotate #/sbin/killall -HUP squid endscript
im not sure if i killall -HUP or just run squid -k rotate
