Regards, Peter I don't know, but I would guess that the stats simply wouldn't be updated. I don't believe it would be of any consequence to the core operation of QMT (iow, it wouldn't impact users at all, except maybe to improve performance). What I was trying to ask is if the stats will be updated daily still even if I run the cron job once a day? Or is for some reason (because of log rotation or some calculations) it necessary to analyze the logs ever hour? Best, Peter
Again, I don't know off hand, but I expect the answer is yes (stats would be updated appropriately), but I'm not certain of this. Thinking about it though, I doubt anything would be missed. isoqlog would need to process more than the current log, in the event that logs were rotated since the last time it was run, which I expect happens fairly regularly. I don't know how smart isoqlog is at selecting the logs to process. This might explain why isoqlog is causing large overhead on your system, especially if you've increased the stock log retention values.
