In theory, all files in /var/log are rotated.

From /etc/cron.daily/logrotate in 12.0.0:

       logrotate enhance
       - remove log files according to the time stamp
       - call logrotate to rotate log files.
       - assume log files reside in /var/log

Maybe the file is too small to require rotation.

You can view and change the logrotate settings with this command:

tmsh
edit sys log-rotate all-properties
