In item key "logrt[/var/log/syslog" the "/var/log/" is a directory where to search log files and "syslog" is a regular expression describing the file name pattern. In your case Zabbix agent tries to analyze every log file with "syslog" in the filename, including "anaconda.syslog". Probably you want "logrt[/var/log/^syslog.*" (adjust your file name regexp to include also rotated log files). It is documented in https://www.zabbix.com/documentation/2.4/manual/config/items/itemtypes/zabbix_agent (see logrt item). |

in case of a single file log[] key might be a better choice, btw |
