In logrotate.d, you can specify the file size to rotate at with
something like: size +4096k

Of course, the configuration is only read when logrotate runs.  One some
systems that may be daily, so if you want it to rotate faster you'd need
to move the logrotate cron from /etc/cron.daily to /etc/cron.hourly.
