errors are getting popped up in the system log

[mary nancy]

Hi

Today my zabbix server was shutdown for maintenance and found that in the system Log of windows server there was a lot of error getting piled up every minute. Infact the system logs were overwritten.
Please can somebody guide me how to prevent these logs getting generated.

Regards

Were they connectoin attempt errors to the zabbix server?

Yes it was a connection error. The zabbix server was down.
But the error was getting popped every minute in the system.

Yes. This "feature" is quite annoying. Development is somewhat slow on the win32 agent compared to the engine and unix agents. I imagine it will catch up as the rest of the code freezes and bugs get resolved. During this beta, that is the current situation.

Hi

I got the solution to my problem.
There is a line in the zabbix_agentd.conf file which says:
Name of log file.
# If not set, syslog will be used

# LogFile=/tmp/zabbix_agentd.log
Hence modified the path of log File
LogFile=c:\tmp.log

(since we did not mention the path where the errors need to be logged, it was using the system log)
Now all the logs are getting logged to tmp.log file and not in the system log

Thanks a lot to all
