After upgrading the operating system from SLES 12 to SLES 15, ISPConfig does not display the log files: "Mail Log", "Mail Warn-Log", "Mail Error-Log", "System-Log", "Freshclam-Log", "fail2ban-Log". The message "Unable to read logfile" appears.

Ok, then you should check if the log files get created by your system, and if not, investigate why this is not the case anymore. ISPConfig just reads them, but if the new SLES version stopped creating them, then ISPConfig can not show their content.

The database contains what you see in the UI. So it contains the info that the log files could not be read. You can e.g. take a look at the code of the cron plugins that read the info. You can find them in /usr/local/ispconfig/server/lib/classes/cron.d/ It might be that some paths have changed with your OS upgrade. ISPConfig does not contain support for SLES, so it might be that you have to adjust the ISPConfig code to fully work on your system.
The code in ISPConfig that reads the mail log files expects the following files: Code: case 'log_mail': if ($dist == 'debian') { $logfile = '/var/log/mail.log'; } elseif ($dist == 'redhat') { $logfile = '/var/log/maillog'; } elseif ($dist == 'suse') { $logfile = '/var/log/mail.info'; } elseif ($dist == 'gentoo') { $logfile = '/var/log/maillog'; } break; case 'log_mail_warn': if ($dist == 'debian') { $logfile = '/var/log/mail.warn'; } elseif ($dist == 'redhat') { $logfile = '/var/log/maillog'; } elseif ($dist == 'suse') { $logfile = '/var/log/mail.warn'; } elseif ($dist == 'gentoo') { $logfile = '/var/log/maillog'; } break; case 'log_mail_err': if ($dist == 'debian') { $logfile = '/var/log/mail.err'; } elseif ($dist == 'redhat') { $logfile = '/var/log/maillog'; } elseif ($dist == 'suse') { $logfile = '/var/log/mail.err'; } elseif ($dist == 'gentoo') { $logfile = '/var/log/maillog'; } break; When I compare the returned output of your ls -la /var/log/mail* command with the PHP code that reads the log files, it should actually (or theoretically) work. You may want to enable the debug mode in ISPConfig and check /var/log/ispconfig/cron.log and ispconfig.log for errors. By executing "php cron_debug.php --cronjob=100-monitor_mail_log.inc.php" from /usr/local/ispconfig/server you may gain even more insights regarding your problem. Nethertheless (open)SuSE is not an officially supported OS, so fixing bugs for such OS is often done by its users.
Thank you for the suggestion, michelangelo. It was enough to solve the problem with displaying logs in ISP.
