Where is the Zabbix log file found?

The Zabbix log file is primarily located at /var/log/zabbix/zabbix_server.log. This file contains detailed logs for the Zabbix server, including operational messages, warnings, and error reports that can help in troubleshooting and monitoring the server's health. The use of the /var/log directory is a common Linux convention for logging system and application messages.

In Zabbix, the log files are important for maintaining visibility into the server's operations, understanding the events being processed, and diagnosing issues when they arise.

While other options may seem plausible, they do not represent the standard logging configuration for the Zabbix server in most installations. For example, the /var/log/zabbix/zabbix.log is not as commonly referenced in Zabbix documentation, and /usr/local/zabbix/zabbix.log doesn't reflect the standard location on most Linux distributions. The path /etc/zabbix/zabbix_server.log does not correspond to a location where log files are typically stored, as this directory is designated for configuration files rather than log files.
