You may have to write a script to run as part of the logrotate configuration. There is an ability to have a script execute after the rotation.I think I didn't explain it quite well: I have some log files that are saved from logrotate hourly. But what i get is something like message.1 messages.2 etc Instead of this i would like to have something like mesagges_04\01\21_14\00 messages_04\01\21_13\00 So to follow the format messages_yy\mm\dd\_hour\minute Something like that, the idea is to have the time as the name of the file

There are different ways of calling the script.
I am not sure if the "extension" will work for what you want.
Maybe this would be better as a cron feature than logrotate as it sounds that you want to keep a running record of log files, not just rotate them.
