Log Rotation Gone Wrong

The /var/log/myapp.log file has grown to 50MB and is consuming precious disk space.
A logrotate configuration was set up at /etc/logrotate.d/myapp but it has a syntax
error and doesn't work.
Fix the logrotate configuration so that it passes validation, then rotate the log
to bring it under 10MB.
You can test your config with: logrotate -d /etc/logrotate.d/myapp
You can force a rotation with: logrotate -f /etc/logrotate.d/myapp
