Good morning all, I'm using ISPConfig 3.0.1.6 and it's working perfectly. In the monitor section there is a possibility to read the mail.log file, but just few lines. I know that I can read it via command line... anyway there is a way to read it with a web interface? Maybe searching for keywords... Any suggestions? Thanks Michele
No, as the ispconfig interface can not read the whole log directly. And reading in the whole log file into the ispconfig database continiously uses too much space in the database.
Hi till, I understand the problem... Anyway do you have an external product that I can install in the system, so that I'll be able to read the log file with a web interface? Thanks Michele
Maybe with Webmin, but please note that you should use Webmin only for reading the logs because otherwise it might interfere with ISPConfig.
Hi falko, that's why I'm scarie to install webmin just to read the log. I was thinking there was other programs that with a web interface was giving me the opportunity to read the log...
Hi yoplait, unfortunately I don't think I'll be able to do it... I'll think about it anyway... but I was thinking that there was already a solution at this problem...
I'm really not a good "scripter", but, I think about a thing like : Code: #!/bin/bash INDEX_FILE="/var/www/mydomain.tld/web/securefolder/index.html" echo "<html> <head><title> My mail logs </title></head>" > $INDEX_FILE tail -n 1000 /var/log/mail.log >> $INDEX_FILE echo "</html>" >> $INDEX_FILE chown userweb:groupweb $INDEX_FILE ...Maybe... But it could be really better !! edit : after that, you have to put a cronjob as you want to launch it.
Hi to everybody. I'm still looking to find a solution to this issue... Anybody can give me an hand? The webmin installation could be a solution, but sounds like a bit dangerous to try on a live server... Thanks a lot Michele
I check my logs always on the shell. have you considered to do it on the shell as well, its quite easy. 1) Connect to your server with a terminal client like putty. 2) To view the logs, use the command tail: example: show the last 100 lines: tail -n 100 /var/log/mail.log Show all new lines continiously: tail -f /var/log/mail.log (to quit this, press [ctrl] + c) If you like to find lines for a specific recipient, use e.g.: grep [email protected] /var/log/mail.log
Hi Till, generally I'm doing it with a shell. But could happen that I'm not in the office and some of my collegue have to read a log file... and they are not really familiar with linux and command lines. That's why for me it's nice to find a web oriented solution to read logs. Before that I made the new mailserver with ISPConfig 3, they was using another mailserver with webmin and there was the feature to read the log file with web interface...
