I checked the logs today after automatic logrotate. The files are 
created (and I don't know why), but it's strange. I have to less traffic 
on the test-site to debug it (only manual 5 hits), but
web.log is a null byte file (also on other older installations)
there's a valid json file in /home/sites/{sitename}/var/logs/2022/12/28
in GUI I can only choose 2022/12/29, which shows no results (correct, no 
json). 2022/12/28 is not clickable.

Should web.log have data or would it removed after statistic is 
processed? I have to debug the process, when I migrated a site with more 
traffic....

In installed a fresh vm. And no, the permissions are wrong:

[root at blueonyx9 ~]# ls -lsa /var/lib/monitorix/www/imgs
insgesamt 8
4 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 27. Dez 17:52 .
4 drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 4096 29. Dez 10:34 ..

IMHO it was correct before the "perl-Config-General" update, but I'm not 
sure.
