Where did /opt/zimbra/log/zimbra.log go?

[jdell]

I upgraded to 4.5.0 NE a few weeks ago, and am upgrading to 4.5.1 NE now.

As part of my pre-upgrade, I always run a full backup

# su - zimbra
# zmbackup -f -a all

And then I tail the log to see when the full backup completes (this worked great in 4.0.x days).

# tail -f /opt/zimbra/log/zimbra.log

So, I went to do this and discovered /opt/zimbra/log/zimbra.log wasn't there. Logger was running, but no log file.

I can see in the Admin UI now when the backup completes, but can anybody explain where that file went, or if there is a way (via CLI) to see if a backup completes?

Is it in /var/log/zimbra.log?

Is it in /var/log/zimbra.log?

I thought of that, but I grep'd /var/log/zimbra.log and that didn't have any info on the backup.

Now that you mention it, I would be happy for someone to also explain why we have /var/log/zimbra.log but other logging goes in /opt/zimbra/log/*

I checked my 4.5 OSS install, and I don't have an /opt/zimbra/log/zimbra.log, but there are quite a few other log files. So, you pose a good question (unfortunately, not one I have an answer to).

Yea, it definitely used to be there in 4.0.x, so I'm just hoping a dev can explain where to find that info now in 4.5.x. Thanks for checking your install :-)

I think it was renamed to mailbox.log to prevent all the confusion between /opt/zimbra/log/zimbra.log and the zimbra.log file that ends up in the syslog log directory (/var/log/zimbra.log, for example).

Ahh, yep, that is what I was looking for.

That'll teach me to be working late I thought I looked at all the files in /opt/zimbra/log/ but I obviously didn't see that.

Thanks!
