You don't need an alias in zabbix_agentd.conf.

Try Zabbix agent (active) with: "logrt[G:\Path\to\logs\log_*.log,,,100]"

But every day create a new log file. How to monitor the latest?

The Zabbix developers thought about that That is why they allow wild cards and pattern matching. The before mentioned item should pick up on newly created logfiles.

Have a look here for more information: http://www.zabbix.com/documentation/...g/how_it_works
