Hello Bandaru Lavanya,

You should be able to edit which logs are recorded and to what files on the /etc/syslog.conf file.

There is some useful guidelines on this on the following link. These are directed towards BSD but the log configuring is the same as Linux.

11.7. Configuring System Logging

I hope this helps!
