Server log files

[Johnny5_Hull]

Just a quick one to see how you guys handle log files....

 

Basically until now we have always just let users manage their log files via the file manager system, however more and more it appears are becoming lazy and are wanting to be able to access them from the main control panel.

 

Do any of you already do this, and if so how?

 

I am basically thinking just add the files to the default config files list, but didn't know whether there was a better way.

 

Cheers

 

Also, I am sure in the past I have seen a script on here for monitoring log file size, but after searching my heart out couldn't find it... if anyone could post it I would appreciate it.

 

Thanks again

OK... so I tried adding them to the default config files section, but it only allows users to download the files, not view them.

 

Surely there's a simple way to do this......

In System Settings > Supported Games > Game

 

Just click the enable log viewer checkbox there to allow your users to see their log files in the cp.

 

**edit**

 

This will also allow you to see the log sizes. It also allows the user to download or stream the logs.

[Johnny5_Hull]

OK.....

 

Now I feel stupid:|: I have seen that a million times.....

 

Nurse........ Coffee required, STAT!!!

Just one final question, does this require a certain port open.....

 

The reason I ask is both the Stream Link and the download link timeout when i click them:confused:

 

Many Thanks again

[jcroom]

I do not believe so, but it may timeout if the log file size is very big.

[TheHeartSmasher]

Port 81 I believe.

[Johnny5_Hull]

I have that port open, and the files is only 42KB.

 

A little more investigation needed me thinks.

 

Thanks anyway guys.

[Johnny5_Hull]

I still haven't found out why this is still happening.

 

I have checked that port 81 was open on the server, which it is, but still no joy. And for the life of me cant see why the files wont open, as they are tiny!!

 

Any one have any ideas?

 

Cheers

 

p.s It also seems to not like me clicking the link to the config files, or any text file for that matter using the file manager, but DOES work if I select edit from the drop down..... related maybe :confused:

Try a support ticket they can be loads faster when there is a real problem not just a oh duh moment.

[Johnny5_Hull]

Think I may have to.... I just hate doing so when I could (maybe) sort it myself.....

 

I guess it comes from having to deal with loads of idiotic tickets over the years, lol
