Is there a way to have the domlogs files archived every month?

Currently cPanel has the option to have them deleted after processing. But I cannot find an option to have then archived the way apache log files are archived after the reach a certain size.

Monthly archiving is possible by enabling the following option: cPanel: Main >> Logs >> Raw Access Logs >> Configure Logs >> Archive logs in your home directory at the end of each stats run

• cPanel Forums - View Single Post - Automatically enable archival of Raw Access Logs, by-default, for new cPanel accounts

In addition to the aforementioned option in cPanel, domain access logs (domlogs) can be rotated monthly if the following two options, set via WebHost Manager, are configured as shown below: WHM: Main >> Server Configuration >> Tweak Settings >> Stats and Logs

• Delete each domain’s access logs after stats run
  • On (default)
  • Select: Off
• Keep monthly log files [?] Keep log files at the end of the month (Off is the default because you can run out of disk space quickly)
  • Select: On
  • Off (default)
