    I would like to know exactly when the log files are cleared from the server at the end of month? For example, the log files were removed on the 30th of May, but I was expecting that to happen on 31st?

    To which log files are you referring exactly?

    Thanks for the reply.

    I am referring to the files under /usr/local/apache/domlogs

    Go on, have a guess
    They're cleared whenever the cpanellogd/logrunner completes which is controlled by the settings in WHM > Tweak Settings. There is no set time as it depends on the size of the logs and the available resources on the server (and if you've created a time window in the Statistics Software Configuration in WHM).

    Thanks for the reply, but I am a little confused.

    I have the option "Delete each domain's access logs after stats run" unchecked, so doesn't this mean that the domlog files are kept until it is cleared at the end of the month unless the "Keep log files at the end of the month (default is off as you can run out of disk space quickly)" option is enabled?

    Yes, absolutely - that's why I said it was controlled by those settings in WHM > Tweak Settings

    So.. as I wrote on my first post I would like to know exactly when the log files are cleared from the server at the end of month? Because I've seen the log files removed on the 30th of May, but I was expecting that to happen on 31st? And idea why this happens?
