Hello there! I wanted to report an error in [logrotate example](https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/base-system/log.essentials#logrotate) in logging documentation page.

The description states:

> Here's an example that rotates a persistent log on a USB storage each night keeping it for 1 week.

but `rotate` parameter value is 1, while it should be 7.
