• Halloween is coming! To celebrate the occasion, we dusted off a couple of old skins, and even created a brand new one (Pixel).
    To get into the festive spirit, install the Skins extension.
  • The new Python extension is now available. It allows customers to deploy and manage WSGI-based Python applications on their websites directly from Plesk.
  • The Plesk Mobile apps for iOS and Android and the Plesk Mobile Center extension have been deprecated, and are no longer available for new installations. In Plesk Obsidian 18.0.84, the Plesk Mobile Center extension will be removed from servers during the upgrade, and the Plesk Mobile apps will lose their server management features.
  • The Social Login extension has been deprecated and will be removed in Plesk Obsidian 18.0.84. After that, it will no longer be possible to log in to Plesk with a Google, Facebook, GitHub account, or with a passkey. Plesk usernames and passwords, as well as logging in with a WebPros Account, are not affected.

Question How to check logs if any file or folder is deleted from vhost directory?

New Pleskian
Server operating system version
Ubuntu 18.04
Plesk version and microupdate number
Plesk Obsidian 18.0.28
We are checking our instance and we found some files and folders are deleted from document root directory. Is there any way to check who deleted those files and folders?
 
Not really. There are many ways to delete files, some have their own logs (e.g. plesk panel log; xferlog for ftpd), others are easily circumventable (shell history). Your best bet would be to narrow down when they vanished and check the authlog for who was on at that time. If you didn't change anything else in the document root, the change time of the directory might help.
