Is it possible to delete the suspended user without deleting the ssh logs of the user?
Deleting users in ezeelogin without affecting their logs
Overview : This article explains that when you delete a user from Ezeelogin, the user's log will not be deleted in the backend.
When you delete a user from Ezeelogin, the user's log will not be deleted in the backend. The logs will be available in the directory /var/log/ezlogin.
However, you will not be able to search the logs in the GUI since the user was deleted from the database. Therefore, It is recommend only to suspend the user and not to delete the user.
FAQ
1. Why are SSH log files (Users → SSH Logs in the Ezeelogin GUI) still present after deletion from the web interface?
Deleting log entries from the Ezeelogin web interface only removes the metadata from the database. The actual log files stored on the filesystem under /var/log/ezlogin/ are not deleted.
To restore the metadata for these logs back into the web interface, use the following command:
root@admod: /usr/local/ezlogin/eztool.php -reimport_logs
This command re-imports the log metadata from the log files that still exist on disk.
2. Is there any impact if the logs in /var/log/ezlogin/ are deleted?
No, the logs in /var/log/ezlogin/ can be safely deleted without affecting system functionality. However, once deleted, these logs cannot be recovered.
