Catalina



 Description   

Once a mac is upgraded to Catalina the Zabbix Agent installer's default location for log files (/var/log/zabbix) is removed. The agent will then not load upon restart of the machine because it can't find the folder. This happens each time there is a Catalina update. I have tested out changing the .plist and .conf log locations to the path /usr/local/var/zabbix. This location is not removed during Catalina updates.

I request that the default agent log locations be changed to /usr/local/var in the installer to alleviate having to manually change them after install in the .plist and .conf.

 

Thanks
