For Debian, on a low traffic system, I use this in
/etc/logrotate.d/argus, which is run via logrotate
from cron.daily:

/var/log/argus/*.log {
     rotate 14
     daily
     compress
     missingok
     prerotate
         /usr/local/bin/argus-report | \
           mailx -s 'argus report' kevin at houle.org
     endscript
     postrotate
         rm -f /var/log/argus/argus.log
     endscript
}

Not sure that's the "best" way, but it works for me.
