What in the world are you logging and how volatile is your network?  
8500+ services here --

1.7M	nagios-05-10-2009-00.log
1.9M	nagios-05-11-2009-00.log
1.9M	nagios-05-12-2009-00.log
2.3M	nagios-05-13-2009-00.log
2.2M	nagios-05-14-2009-00.log
5.6M	nagios-05-15-2009-00.log

Seems to me that you need to tune down your logging settings...

[nagios at noctools etc]$ grep log_ nagios.cfg
log_file=/usr/local/nagios/var/nagios.log
log_rotation_method=d
log_archive_path=/usr/local/nagios/var/archives
log_notifications=1
log_service_retries=1
log_host_retries=1
log_event_handlers=1
log_initial_states=0
log_external_commands=1
log_passive_checks=0
