zabbix_traps.tmp growing infinitely

[Tester001]

Dear Zabbix Community,

I am using the following official script to relay SNMP traps to Zabbix:

https://github.com/zabbix/zabbix/blob/master/misc/snmptrap/zabbix_trap_receiver.pl

I've noticed that the /tmp/zabbix_traps.tmp file is growing infinitely.

How are you dealing with this problem in your deployments?

Thank you in advance!

cyber, would you be so kind and share a confirguration that you know works?

The following doesn't work for me, sadly:

logrotate /etc/logrotate.d/zabbix-traps


    /tmp/zabbix_traps.tmp {
        su root root
        daily
        notifempty
        missingok
        rotate 0
        maxsize 100000000
        compress
        delaycompress
    }

/path/to/logfiles/*.log {

delaycompress

}
