[Solved] Http Access Logs Stopped On Oct. 16Th

[Computer Nerd Kev]

I just noticed that the HTTP access logs for my website (which is on Tommy) all stopped updating on October 16th. Both the main and sub domain log files have not been modified since, I wish I'd checked sooner.

 

I can't see how I could have stuffed this up, so I guess it's a server issue.

 

Main domain is: computernerdkev.heliohost.org

 

Thanks for reading.

 

 

EDIT: The log files in the "Current Raw Access Logs" section of the cPanel raw access logs page have been updating. It's the "archived" logs kept in ~/logs that stopped on Oct. 16th.

 

On the same page:

"Archive logs in your home directory at the end of each stats run every 24 hours." is checked.

 

"Remove the previous month’s archived logs from your home directory at the end of each month." is unchecked.

 

I'll delete some old ones in case there's a problem with having too many archived logs in the directory (though that would be a pretty poor bug).

I wonder if this is related to yesterday's outage, which was caused by /var filling up due to an apache log growing too large.

 

Escalating.

Thanks for noticing this. It looks like the script responsible for processing the logs had gotten stuck. I unstuck it and it seems to be working again. Are your logs updating at all? It might take a while to get caught up fully since it was so far behind.

The logs are up to Oct. 18th at the moment, looks good.

 

Thanks for giving that script a "kick".

Checking in again on this issue, it looks like Tommy is completely caught up, and keeping up with processing logs. Thanks again for pointing it out.
