Revision as of 21:59, 18 June 2014

Please see SMF1.1:Logs or SMF2.0:Logs depending on the version of SMF you are using.

Forum Error Log

The Error Log will show you errors that occur on your SMF forum -- any error that sends a message to a member will be recorded here. This will include:

Login errors that occur when members or guests mis-type their username and password or have not activated their account.
Members or guests attempting to use URLs they are not permitted to see.
php errors, such as "undefined index".
Errors accessing the database.

Any error that sends a message to a member will be displayed here (even though these are not really errors), as well as errors that are generated in the coding of the board or mods you may have added.

The error log can be deleted one item at a time or all at once. You can select the errors you wish to delete, and then click the Remove Selection button, or simply remove every error in the error log by clicking the Remove All button. You can also filter the error list by showing only the same error message, error caused by a particular member, error message caused by a particular location of your forum, or error message caused from a particular IP address, by clicking the small icon to left of each of the details explaining that part of the error message.

-The '''Ban Log''' shows a log of every ban you have done on your forum.
-The first column shows the ip address that was banned. Next to that is the email address that was banned, and next to that is the membername that was banned. Then there is the date that the ban was done and right next to that is a check box you would use to remove the selected log entries.

-{{:Spider log}}

-'''''Note''': All times given below are server time and do not take any time offsets setup within SMF into account.''
-== Log Pruning ==
-The ''Log Pruning'' section of the [[Administration Center]] is designated for the pruning (deletion) of old logs, normally not needed after a certain period of time but can take up a noticeable space in your database.
-The first setting on this page ''Enable pruning of log entries'' allows you to set whether you want logs to ever be pruned from your forum, having this option unchecked will keep logs from being deleted, even if certain logs are specified to be deleted after a certain amount of days.
-The following logs are able to be pruned, and can be set how old the must be to be deleted on this page. Just enter a integer value in the corresponding inputs to determine after how many days should logs related to the input field be pruned. The prunable logs are:
-*'''Remove error log entries''' - The error logs come from the errors generated on your forum. You can see these error logs in the [[#Error Log]] section of your [[Administration Center]].
-*'''Remove moderation log entries''' - The moderation logs are logs of the moderation actions performed on your forum, examples include deleting a post or topic, editing a post, or moving a topic. These logs can be viewed in the [[Moderation Log]] section in your [[Moderation center|Moderation Center]] of your forum.
-*'''Remove ban hit log entries''' - When a member is banned and tries to access your forum, he or she will trigger logs of their attempt to access your forum while they are banned to let you know that they tried to get on your forum. You can find these logs in the [[Logs#Ban Log|ban log]] page of the [[Ban list|Ban List]] section of your [[Administration Center]].
-*'''Remove report to moderator log entries''' - When a post is reported to moderators, the record of the report is saved. You can find these logs in the [[Moderation_center#Reported_Posts|Reported Posts]] section of the [[Moderation center|Moderation Center]].
-*'''Remove scheduled task log entries''' - When scheduled tasks are performed on your forum, logs of them being performed are saved. You can view these logs by going to the Scheduled Tasks section of the [[Forum Maintenance]] section of the [[Administration Center]] and selecting the ''View Log'' link.
