That is not a feature systemd's logging have. You'd have to make a
rsyslogd rule to put it in one directory, another one for the other use
then tweak logrotate rules to rotate and keep each of them for
different length.
Most packages already log to separate files and have separate logrotate
rules so often it is just changing a single line, for example auth.log
is rotated with rest of the default logs:
/var/log/syslog
/var/log/mail.log
/var/log/kern.log
/var/log/auth.log
/var/log/user.log
/var/log/cron.log
{
rotate 4
weekly
missingok
notifempty
compress
delaycompress
sharedscripts
postrotate
/usr/lib/rsyslog/rsyslog-rotate
endscript
}
so if you wanted to change only auth.log you'd copy the section, and remove it from current one, like this:
/var/log/auth.log
{
rotate 53 # a year in weeks
weekly
missingok
notifempty
compress
delaycompress
sharedscripts
postrotate
/usr/lib/rsyslog/rsyslog-rotate
endscript
}
