Every night, I get an email from my server with the following:
/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.log /var/log/mysql/mysql.log /var/log/mysql/mariadb-slow.log '
run-parts: /etc/cron.daily/logrotate exited with return code 1
I don't know why this is happening, and I can't figure out how to stop the error.

There is linux utility logrotate, It is trying to rotate logs of mariadb.
You should look in file:
Look for section which has scripts(which sends you mails), Headed by:
Maybe because credentials are not being entered. Either remove these scripts(hash them) if not wanted, Or give login credentials to MariaDB.
Hope it helps!
