This is a list of log file locations and what's in them

Zimbra logs in several locations

Depending on what's installed on the server, and how your system is configured, some logs may not be on the server that is experiencing the error.

These are named with a pid file extension (3-5 digit number) - generally, the latest one is the one you're looking for

/tmp/zmsetup.log

/tmp/install.log

The MTA (postfix) logs via syslog to the mail facility. By default, this goes to /var/log/maillog

Tomcat logs via syslog to the local0 facility. By default, this goes to /var/log/zimbra.log AND /opt/zimbra/log/zimbra.log

Some tomcat information (including Stack Traces] will also be in /opt/zimbra/tomcat/logs/catalina.out

Swatch logs to /tmp/swatch.out
