As the syslog is in RAM rebooting the Pi / if the Pi crashes all the logs will be lost. If you want persistent log storage (for example on a Pi 5 with an NVMe SSD) then you can get some control by vacuuming / configuring journald - that's beyond the scope of "save your SD card" so there's some good reading [[https://linuxhandbook.com/clear-systemd-journal-logs/|here]]
