Tracking center does not show previous month logs

[bougatoyta]

Hi,

My PMG does not show mail older than 31st of august.

What log file does this read and how can I let PMG show more log in tracking center ?

Speed and ressources are not a problem here.

Regards

The logs for the tracking center are taken from /var/log/syslog (and it's rotated variants)
if you want to increase the duration - edit the logrotate config

I hope this helps!

Hi,

Thanks for the answer

Simple question because i'm curious, why not using mail.log ? and other mail log (mail.err and such)

I don't think there is a particular reason why syslog vs. mail.log (mail.err would not contain all relevant information, since you do not only want to see the errors, but also the informational messages about successful deliveries)

I guess it might be related to giving users the possibility to simply turn off logging everything additionally to mail.log if they want to conserve the diskspace

I hope this explains it.
