How do we set the logrotate rule that rotates the logs once they reach 5MB

Is there a way we can set the logrotate rule that rotates the logs once they reach a certain size?

You might want to use the size or maxsize config value, depending on your specific use case.

To set the maxsize attribute, for example:

node.override['logrotate']['global']['maxsize'] = '5M'

If I am understanding the ask correctly, using the resource to accomplish the same thing could be done as follows

logrotate_app 'jboss-app' do
  path        '/var/log/jboss/jboss.log'
  size        '100M'
  rotate      5
  create      '664 jboss jboss'
  options     %w(missingok compress delaycompress)
  postrotate  'sudo systemctl restart jboss.service'
end

and it would produce the following logrotate config file:

# This file was generated by Chef for default-ubuntu-1604.vagrantup.com.
# Do not modify this file by hand!

"/var/log/jboss/jboss.log" {
  weekly
  create 664 jboss jboss
  rotate 5
  size 100M
  missingok
  compress
  delaycompress
  postrotate
    sudo systemctl restart jboss.service
  endscript
}

I believe it will then rotate at either 100M or weekly, whichever occurs first. May want to test that part out though.
