Missing logs glitch?
« on: February 24, 2011, 11:35:22 pm »
In the past few weeks, I noticed that sometimes today's logs or yesterday's gets truncated around 3 PM GMT-7 or so. During morning everything is fine, then later during evening over half of it goes missing until the next day or 2 days later. Could this be a new log parser glitch?

Also I think I saw an old log file that gave a 500 Internal Server Error not so long ago.

EDIT: Found it: http://netham45.org/irc/EfNet/?channel=Old-Omnimaga-2007 Check the Jan 27th duplicate. Also in some old logs the join/quit colors are wrong.

The log for April 24, 2011 is only from 14:24:12 to the end of the day. What happened to the rest of it?

But how did that delete half of the day's log?

it was shut down... the session ended...
I don't know where the logs went, but this is the most probable reason :P

These things are not related. The log files are independent from the site. What he means is that all the convo from 12 AM to 6 PM or so completely vanished from the logs, which happened many times before.

(Merged the two missing log topics)


I think I found what is causing it, I think mIRC is freaking out and deleting the old logs when it rejoins due to me using multiple clients for logging to the same directory.

Edit: I tweaked something I think will fix it.

I see. Hopefully it works out well.

At first it sounded suspicious because two times in a row a few months ago it happened right after some incidents, and I feared they were deleted manually to remove any evidence of it...

The only condition I edit logs is if someone posts their passwords into IRC and asks me to remove them, in which case I generally replace the line with '<Removed based off of request from so-and-so>'


But I haven't had to do that in like a year and a half

Ah ok, and I assume if someone links to viruses. I wasn't sure since it seemed to weird to be coincidences at first.

ah, OK. I was wrong then :P
I saw that omni was down at that point, so I drew a (false) conclusion :(

REPRODUCED, DIAGNOSED, AND FIXED.


Had an option in mIRC to trim logs to 100kb. Apparantly it only fires when it's disconnected/reconnected to IRC, so that's why it didn't happen daily. Unchecked and tested, fixed.


(On that note, in testing it, I accidentally did the same to todays logs. Oops. :P)

Oh I see now. I forgot about that option. I thought the log parser truncated them for some reasons.

:w00t: Finally :D

The logging system is part of mIRC?
