Regarding the recent crash

Post by Aelryn Bloodmoon » Sat May 27, 2017 5:28 am

As log files were determined to be the root of the problem, I find myself compelled to ask- would it be a viable solution to just dump all logs older than a year? (Are there any major instances in which you will need log files older than a year?)

The server has been going for more than one year now since it migrated.

Or are these not the kind of logs you can just erase by date? Are they one massive log file for each character that grows in size as the character ages? If so, could these be pruned for length? Would anything be negatively affected by such pruning?

I realize you guys probably already have a handle on this but I'm just spitballing ideas until I know for sure that you've already figured out a way to make sure this doesn't happen again next month.
