Hello, can someone please suggest how to create an logrotate for this scenario. Need to delete all log file which are created more than 30 days ago, and all the log file have date stamp on it.

I dont want to create a cron job for this task.
here is the example

-rw-r--r-- 1 tomcat tomcat    49203 May 18 22:22 access.2013-05-18.log
-rw-r--r-- 1 tomcat tomcat    42702 May 19 23:59 access.2013-05-19.log
-rw-r--r-- 1 tomcat tomcat   396889 May 20 23:21 access.2013-05-20.log
-rw-r--r-- 1 tomcat tomcat   380026 May 21 23:26 access.2013-05-21.log
-rw-r--r-- 1 tomcat tomcat   255419 May 22 23:37 access.2013-05-22.log
-rw-r--r-- 1 tomcat tomcat   412441 May 23 23:12 access.2013-05-23.log
-rw-r--r-- 1 tomcat tomcat   236075 May 24 23:54 access.2013-05-24.log
-rw-r--r-- 1 tomcat tomcat    55490 May 25 23:55 access.2013-05-25.log
-rw-r--r-- 1 tomcat tomcat    41054 May 26 23:50 access.2013-05-26.log
-rw-r--r-- 1 tomcat tomcat   258924 May 27 23:18 access.2013-05-27.log
-rw-r--r-- 1 tomcat tomcat   258924 May 27 23:18 access.log

Check out the 'find' command, This is a simple example:

** Log files

I haven't tested but create /etc/logrotate.d/access

Populate it with

var/log/access.log {
    daily
    rotate 30
    create 0644 tomcat tomcat
}

And then restart rsyslogd. If your /etc/logrotate.conf is default then I think that should work. But of course test.
