This is *nix limit

https://www.zabbix.com/forum/zabbix-troubleshooting-and-problems/41615-zabbix-too-many-open-files

and from zabbix docs

Note that logrt is designed to work with one currently active log file, with several other matching inactive files rotated. If, for example, a directory has many active log files, a separate logrt item should be created for each one. Otherwise if one logrt item picks up too many files it may lead to exhausted memory and a crash of monitoring.

Hello,

/backup/backup_Sat.log-20230312
/backup/backup_Sat.log-20230312.gz
Thank you, I see another point in the directory old logs are compressed so how can I exclude gz files ?

Best regards

[Hamardaban]

backup_Sat.log-20230312.gz. does not match the regular expression and will not be affected.
