If you use a DB (datawarehouse type) you can purge all unnecessary data and only keep what's vital in a compacted format. We have 120K diakup users and have something like 6GB for 7 months.

IMHO, compression has a major drawback: it make the files difficult to search in. If you want to give your users a way to check their connection statistics online, this is a problem. Note that even without compression, making an fgrep in a 250MB file to get the statistics for a given login out of it can be a killer for the server, specially of you have lots of users making statistics requests through the web. But... without going as far as putting everything in a database (yeah, I know I can be a PITA with my database stuff :)), there's a way to compress data and let it 'searchable': just pass it through a filter and put everything in a more compact format (for example, change plain text dates to a Unix timestamp, ...). I think part of this can already be done by a proper configuration of the logging options of Radiator, but I can't advice on that as I don't use text logging.

(RADIATOR) Logfile size
Hello everyone, I am curious what size my daily logfiles will be with 1+ logins a day. I am doing some capicity planning and want to add a couple disks to store logging info on. I would appreciate any average sizes you have. I have looked at the entries in the detail log and 1 login/logout is roughyl 800 bytes. I multiplies this out by 1 and got 8,000,000 so I am assuming roughly 10 Megs a day?? I plan on archiving these for up to a year for various reasons so was hoping to get 2 20 gig Disks to do this. I also plan on using some form of compression scheme. Thanks for any info anyone can get back to me, Thanks again, Ryan === Archive at http://www.thesite.com.au/~radiator/ To unsubscribe, email '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' with 'unsubscribe radiator' in the body of the message.

Re: (RADIATOR) Logfile size
With roughly 3700 calls per day, our logfile (trace level 4) is roughly 6-6.5 meg, with the details file being slightly smaller, at about 5-5.5 meg per day. All our accounting we log into a database, but we also use the standard logfiles just as a backup. So for a month, these two log files account for about 300+ meg (getting bigger every month). Since we are running Radiator under NT, I just use WinZip once a month to archive the logs, which brings them down to about 25 meg per month, which is not bad compression!
