Title: [FEATURE] Server side option of automatic uploading logs to central repository
Post by: KnacK on August 10, 2008, 09:59:42 AM

As sometimes it is difficult to get in touch with a server admin to get the logs of a server to identify a cheater, I am suggesting a server side option that uploads, once a day or once a week, the log files from a server to a central repository.

From there, they could just be stored, or maybe jits could have them imported in to a central database for lookup.

Here are the optons:

enable logupload
set frequency d/w/m
set upload server

+ authenticity signature/checksum/hash

And encryption.  Those logs contain IP addresses and names, correct?

Not my idea.  I don't really care for it, to be honest, but it would be handy for those times when somebody posts a cheater demo and I need to get the IP.  Other than that, it's just sucking up more bandwidth and space on this server.

Have it only keep logs for a week or so then?

Depends on how often the logs are checked.  More like remove the logs after the logs have been checked.
