Actually, most that I do is just redirect the default logs (mostly 
apache) (and some of my own logs) to the directory, and I put them 
on rotation by configuring logrotate; and then I forget about 
it (I just "know" theyre in the partition).  The web logs grows 
fast, so I just say, like rotate them 15x or something (last one gets 
thrown out), and just watch the space periodically using "df".  
Pretty soon (after the logs have rotated 15x) I should have a good 
feel of how much space I need for logs.  I really am too lazy to 
check, but I just know its "there" on the partition.  Oh yeah, 
one time the partition got filled up by an invalid logrotate option 
and apache stopped working--good thing the logs did not take out the
whole disk.
