Can anyone explain to me how to use new webmail logging?

When I select "Summary Logging" for webmail, it displays a lot of information in the log file and I have no idea what it means. All I want is a listing of when users log on and off similar to old webmail.

Hi, Mike

Afaik...

Web/control logs are the web server logs regarding things like antivirus updates, systems back ups, etc. all done via control service.

Webmail logs are the new Webmail pro logs, which you can also activate logged to webmail pro as admin in Admin settings. It can be usefull to for support to check any webmail pro issue, but more processing to set it on.

Then theres the web server's log (which you can active on the web service website) which gives you external IP of connections to your system.

Regading a way of knowing who logged on and off, Webmail classic has exactly that type of log, you activate it logging as admin in webmail classic, in admin settings, the place where you set logs.

About webmail pro and such logs, I did some tests here, I think your best bet is to activate just Summary logs for WEBMAIL (in Logging of IceWarp console), then it does show you (in XML format with tags) the users that logged in.

regards,
Marcio

Thanks Marcio

But, when I enable Webmail Pro logs in "summary" it displays pages and pages of useless information.

The webmail logging recorded in the main logging folder is rather cryptic (default location ... /logs/webmail/<dated_log_files>).

There is another log which are in the webmail folder (default localtion... webmail/logs/<dated_log_files>). [Don't confuse the directories they are different.] These log just record user webmail logons. The log contains source IP, user, time, etc etc.

Think this will help you out more than the other webmail log.

*** As Corintian said its a bit cryptographic, but from tests I did, if you set the summary mode for Webmail logs, you get the info you want of users that logged in and out without all the debug info.
