I hope you realise that if set to daily, logrotate happens at 4:02AM. That means yesterday's log actually contains 4 hours of 'today' and is missing 4 hours from yesterday. If you run automated report generation from the logs, eg. SARG, the report will be incomplete unless the utility that generates reports is aware of log rotation and takes it into consideration.
