  • The BIND DNS server has already been deprecated and removed from Plesk for Windows.
    If a Plesk for Windows server is still using BIND, the upgrade to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.70 will be unavailable until the administrator switches the DNS server to Microsoft DNS. We strongly recommend transitioning to Microsoft DNS within the next 6 weeks, before the Plesk 18.0.70 release.
  • The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.

Issue Plesk Onyx 17.8.11 log files

SacAutos

Regular Pleskian
A week or so ago I updated my CentOS 6.9 server from the previous edition of Plesk to 17.8.11. All went smoothly. However, today I have found an issue with the log files.

I archive all my website log files quarterly on a manual basis. So I have the log rotation for turned off. That had allowed the access_log.processed and access_ssl_log.processed files to accumulate on a daily basis. Then, at the end of each quarter, I zip them up and archive them for historical purposes.

Today I happened to look at my logs. They are not accumulating. Instead, it appears that the ".processed" files are the previous day's activity.

Something changed as a result of the update. How do I restore the previous behavior?
 
Here's a screenshot of my log rotation pop-over

This may seem like a minor issue; but it's actually a fairly big deal. I ran some tests since I first posted this alert. It impacts logs regardless whether awstats or webalizer is being used. I also ran a test by enabling log rotation for a subscription. No change: the access_log.processed and access_ssl_log.processed files on my server are being replaced each evening by the current day's log file rather than accumulating.

This is a big issue because, if I need to go back a few days to review the log files for a site, I can't. That's bad for security. Until I get a fix on this, I'm not updating any more servers with the new release. Help??
