Missing logs (again)?

Anyone else see problems with very sparse logs on 27th/28th October
(i.e. the weekend)?  I know that w/e logs tend to be smaller, but these
were about 200x smaller than normal!  Strangely, they seem to cover
quite a spread in time - but very low density of accesses.  Either the
web site was unavailable, or logging has failed yet again.

Andrew.

Hi Andrew

Saturday 27th was about 30% down on expectation from recent Saturdays in 
Undiscovered Scotland, and Sunday was also down: but there were no 
obvious gaps in the analysis down to quarter-hour level which might have 
suggested either lack of availability of the site or gaps in the 
logging. (And, after recent performance, we do look very closely).  So a 
first guess is that this isn't down to Demon.

Sorry: this throws up no answers, but it suggests you're not alone.

Regards

Repeated again last Monday: log file size 24706, then on Tuesday up to
387600, Wednesday 518869, and so on.  I.e. Monday's loggin was about 5%
of expected!  I don't know whether this was because the server was really
unavailable, or "just" a logging issue.  Maybe I need to sign up with
some NetMechanic style monitoring service.

thanks for the feedback,
Andrew.
