Environment

Novell ZENworks 10 Configuration Management with Support Pack 1 - 10.1

Situation

If zmd-messages.log is bigger than 1MB, it is zipped upon reboot, even if it is smaller than the maximum configured size (default is 10MB).

Resolution

This is fixed in version 10.1.1 - see KB 7001406 "ZENworks 10 Configuration Management 10.1.1" which can be found at https://www.novell.com/support

Additional Information

Because the setting was ignored, it could make troubleshooting harder, since the information may be lost if several reboots were required.
