Title: Missing logs glitch?
Post by: DJ Omnimaga 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 :(

The glitch still happens there. Note, the logs were intact until evening on each day.

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?
