This is the logrotate.sls file.
/etc/logrotate.d/syslog:
  file:
    - managed
    - source: salt://system/logrotate/syslog
    - user: root
    - group: root
    - mode: 644

syslog as follows:
/var/log/cron
/var/log/maillog
/var/log/messages
/var/log/secure
/var/log/spooler
{
    daily
    dateext
    dateformat -%Y-%m-%d-%s
    create
    rotate 7
    size 100M
    missingok
    notifempty
    delaycompress
    compress
    sharedscripts
    postrotate
        /bin/kill -HUP `cat /var/run/syslogd.pid 2> /dev/null` 2> /dev/null || true
    endscript
}

however when i run "#salt 'SDC1*' logrotate.show_conf"
syslog:
            - /var/log/secure
            - /var/log/messages
            - /var/log/maillog
            - /var/log/cron
            - /var/log/spooler
            - {
        up2date:
            - /var/log/up2date
        yum:
            - /var/log/yum.log
    rotate:
        4
    weekly:
        True
    {:
        ----------
        /bin/kill:
            -HUP `cat /var/run/syslogd.pid 2> /dev/null` 2> /dev/null || true
        endscript:
            True
        postrotate:
            True
        sharedscripts:
            True

if my understanding correct this output is different from what is configured above for syslog. This output taking from what was configured in /etc/logrotate.conf and /etc/logrotate.d/syslog
