RM> Is it possible to remove that restriction? The size of zipped log files is RM> only 13%. Not at the moment... the problem is that when we've tried this we get an unpredictable mix of contents... For example, sometimes the .zip or .tar.gz would contain multiple files or even subdirectories with multiple logs. I'm going to work on updating the inbound log processor to handle simple compressed logs. When that work is done we will accept logs that are compressed with the following STRICT rules: 1. The file must be compressed directly. No subdirectories. Only one file at a time. 2. Only .zip or .gz formats. 3. The file name must follow our standard format with the .gz or .zip extension added. [<your-domain>.<your-tld>.][<unique-string>.]<licenseid>.log.gz or [<your-domain>.<your-tld>.][<unique-string>.]<licenseid>.log.zip [square brackets show optional parts] So valid exmples might be: microneil.com.1234567.snfrv2r3.log.gz armresearch.com.uglyguid9a3k2ai.a1b2c34d.log.zip licenseid.log.gz example.com.license12.log.zip etc... I expect to be able to accept compressed log files within the next few days if all goes as planned. I will announce that ability on this list when we are ready.
