Sorting and cleaning up the logs

Andy Konecny
 

When you go to pull down the SMG logs via the web admin, is there a way to sort the logs? such as to have the newest on the top vs mixed date jumble I am seeing now?
Or is it time for more votes(up arrow to left of title) to the Idea about this?


Is there a system built in and/or safe way to cleanup old logs?
Notably, the old folders from ancient versions of SMG through a few migrations.  Folders&logs that are closing in on 3 years old when retention is only 60 days!

Now that I've found them in /vastorage/smg/services/logs/ I could just delete them, but want to make sure there isn't a problem doing so.

    You can export all SMG logs via the syslog interface, under Manage Server --> "Enable Syslog logging". The SMG copy the events to the syslog subsystem and you can use here a export function, topics rsyslog service and centralized logs like Splunk/graylog etc..

    All logs are time sorted and searchable inside the central log system.

    A whole other system to set up and manage, great for large organizations, but a big enough hit on resources for most smaller shops, that they don't get around to it.
    Also doesn't help too much for living off the land.
