The logrotate configuration file for fpm services is located in /etc/logrotate.d/ directory:

# ls -l /etc/logrotate.d/*php*
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 203 Nov 15 23:36 /etc/logrotate.d/php-fpm
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 211 Jan 9 13:25 /etc/logrotate.d/plesk-php56
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 211 Jan 9 12:46 /etc/logrotate.d/plesk-php70
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 211 Jan 9 11:11 /etc/logrotate.d/plesk-php71
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 211 Jan 9 14:50 /etc/logrotate.d/plesk-php72

Modify the corresponding file for required php-fpm service in an appropriate way:
For example, for system php-fpm /etc/logrotate.d/php-fpm file will look like the following:

/var/log/php-fpm/*log {
    rotate 14
    daily
    missingok
    notifempty
    size 100M
    compress
    missingok
    notifempty
    sharedscripts
    delaycompress
    postrotate
        /bin/kill -SIGUSR1 `cat /run/php-fpm/php-fpm.pid 2>/dev/null` 2>/dev/null || true
    endscript
}

Note: parameters rotate (specified in days), size and daily (or monthly, weekly) can be changed to meet the requirements.
If it is required to rotate log files more often, then remove parameter daily from the config above and create a cron task. For example, the following will run logrotate every 5 hours:

# crontab -e
01 01,06,11,16,21 * * *  /usr/sbin/logrotate /etc/logrotate.d/php-fpm -s /var/lib/logrotate/logrotate.status
