Log files older than 5 days

[rszkutak]

I can see from rolling around the board for a couple days that the issue of log files older than 5 days is standard.

I have a couple customers who once a month, call and bite my head off because the DA system doesn't keep logs more than 5 days, where as they got spoiled almost 3 years ago when it kept them for longer periods of time.

Honestly I don't look at log files unless i need to, but they want the full 30 days worth.

Is their a way to change the amount of days the log files go on rotation, some variable somewhere in the system somewhere? I would love to do it on a per domain basis, but system wide is fine as well.

I am not worried about a preformance impact on the server at this time, we are beginning the process to add a new server ( Dual Xeon with 3Gb of RAM, 15,000 RPM SCSI 320's ) in within a couple weeks, and clients will be moving to that new one soon.

Thoughts on this issue ???

thanks,
Rob

Web log

I personally can not express how important log files are to web marketing! This should be addressed imminently.

First I think Direct Admin should have no right on saying how long a log file should be around. This should be an option for Hosting companies and Website Administrators.

While I understand you try to offer as much bang for you’re buck by adding webalizer to truncate that log for you. It’s not for everyone. First no filtering of the log, like want I have my webmail box hits included with the report. In commercial log analyzers can tracker user activity, on a website. I can get a lot more statistical information that allows me to the success of the website. I really love my hosting company, but my job requires to have detail reports of the domains I run. If I can’t do so with out the proper log information then I will have no choice, but to find a new hosting company who does not run your software.
