I have the folowing in /etc/logrotate.d/dnsmasq file:

/var/log/dnsmasq.log {
        # create 660 daemon daemon
        notifempty
        daily
        rotate 3
        missingok
        # compress
    postrotate
        # test if dnsmasq is really running
        if test -f /var/run/dnsmasq.pid && \
           pgrep -o dnsmasq &>/dev/null
        then
           kill -SIGUSR2 `cat /var/run/dnsmasq.pid`
        fi
    endscript
}
