If I'm not mistaken it zabbix rotates the current log file every 5 minutes (to .old, and discards the previous .old). So all logrotate can do is rotate logs which will be 5 minutes old at best (regardless if you rotate .old or the real zabbix-server.log), at the present setting of daily log rotation you will have a 5 minute snip of that whole day's logs (not too useful). The ideal solution would be to turn off zabbix-server's internal log rotation but I have not found an option to do that in the .conf :( -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
