I think "rotate log files" is sufficiently clear. I think that's jargon that most sysadmins would understand, and it's also probably the first thing people would search for. I'm not a fan of describing it as "trimming", because the files themselves are never trimmed (i.e., truncate(2)), but I can understand the use. I think any text mentioning that it's to maintain a reasonable size is redundant; that seems like a pretty basic feature that you'd assume of any real log rotation system. Just my 2c.
