After installing R3.0.0 the log file var/log/z-way-server does not rotate anymore so the file keeps growing in size over time.
It turns out that the mode of file /etc/logrotate.d/z-way-server is 0664.
Logrotate requires file mode 0644 or 0444

Manually changing the file mode solves the problem, but maybe this can be included in the installation scripts?

I knew it was broken, as I had a file exceeding 900MB

sudo chmod 0644 /etc/logrotate.d/z-way-server

Thankyou to ibjr

Thanks for the tip. Will become part of 3.0.1

Hi, it is still not working in 3.0.1

Looks like. 3.0.2 then soon

After upgrading to 3.0.6 using web UI
logfile is not rotating and getting large >300MB
same issue as before
after 3.0.6 -rw-rw-r-- 1 root root 231 Apr 28 02:03 z-way-server 01/05/2020
ran chmod, now -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 231 Apr 28 02:03 z-way-server

sudo chmod 0644 /etc/logrotate.d/z-way-server

Group write access affects logrotate?

seems so, it wasn't working since 3.0.6
I did the old fix, sudo chmod 0644 /etc/logrotate.d/z-way-server
now its working.

Hm.. deb package postinst file contains chmod 644 /etc/logrotate.d/z-way-server.... Since v3.0.2

I just looked in z-way-3.0.6_armhf.deb (downloaded on 28th April 2020) Extracting with 7-Zip
Found the file. C:\Z-Wave\Firmware\z-way-3.0.6_armhf.deb\data.tar\.\etc\logrotate.d\z-way-server
and the 'mode' column shows it with permissions -rw-rw-r--

All other files in the PI4 logrotate folder are set with permissions -rw-r--r-- (644)
and they work.
