Issue MariaDB logrotate problem

Kapnos

Basic Pleskian
Hi,

I frequently receive this email with subject "Cron <root@myserver> test -x /usr/sbin/anacron || ( cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.daily )"
/etc/cron.daily/logrotate:
mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed
error: 'Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)'
error: error running shared postrotate script for '/var/log/mysql/mysql.log /var/log/mysql/mysql-slow.log /var/log/mysql/mariadb-slow.log /var/log/mysql/error.log '
run-parts: /etc/cron.daily/logrotate exited with return code 1

I think the problem is there isn't a root username in MariaDB.
Any help?

Ubuntu Server 18.04
Plesk Onyx 17.8.11
MariaDB 10.1
