My last few callers stats on ecwebv4 looks to have stopped working on May 25th - that's the date of the last caller and the last modified date on logon.jsonl. What should be writing login into to that file?

My last few callers stats on ecwebv4 looks to have stopped working on May 25th - that's the date of
the last caller and the last modified date on logon.jsonl. What should be writing login into to that
file?

A quick check for disk space and appropriate permissions on logon.jsonl is in order, though not the likely cause.

It'd be interesting to know what size that file is and how many lines are in it.

Check your web and terminal server logs for something resembling:

Error <something> opening /sbbs/data/logon.jsonl

And also:

<something> lines <some number> of /sbbs/data/logon.jsonl

The problem isn't web-specific. If you use logon.js or logonlist.js on the terminal server side, they're likely not working either.

This feature relies on logonlist_lib.js, which relies on json_lines.js, which is the likely culprit.

From logon.js:

if(bbs.node_status != NODE_QUIET && ((system.settings&SYS_SYSSTAT) || !user.is_sysop))
bbs.mods.logonlist_lib.add();

I'm running Windows, and permissions look good. It's got 18 lines,
19,751 bytes.

Grepping logon.jsonl in the logs directory didn't reveal anything.

Hmmm. I compared the headers of those files with those in CVS, I
appear to be running the latest versions.

Are you sure you've had logons recently that qualify for addition to that file? DM's recent message pointed out the fact that silent logons wouldn't be tracked.

If something was wrong, I'd expect to see one of the two errors I mentioned in your logs somewhere.

your sbbs logs are not written to your windows event logging thing? they're all written to plain ASCII files??

I'm one of the entries in the stale list, I'm including sysop logins for test purposes.

I've had a bunch of new callers, don't know if they've called back. Do first time callers get logged?
