GDPR and site protection
I am opening another thread to ask for ideas on how to monitor malicious site activity in your sites now that GDPR is enforced.

Re: GDPR and site protection
Server logs?
The GDPR does not prevent logging. On both the hosts where it matters to me, I’ve set to delete them after 3 days, sufficient for me to do a basic check. Both those hosts do logging on their own (server management). One (Dreamhost) says they delete them after 3 days. The other one (a very private thing, in Japan) deletes them after 7 days (in Japan there is a voluntary code of conduct, complete with badges and audits by some privacy association; it is similar to the GDPR in scope, but not enshrined in laws).

Maybe I should research ways construct an interface for them as they are hard to read as they are.

Re: GDPR and site protection
I just experimented with txp logs which show both front and back end activity which is very cool. Is there a way to stop it from showing my visits? Previously we had rah_unlog_me but it is based on excluding IPs which are no longer logged.

Re: GDPR and site protection
I guess, it’s more about web server (apache or nginx) and its logs. If you need useful analytics – try to use goaccess.io

I just look in my cpanel. If I see more than about 10 attempts at my login index page, its someone trying to get in. There are a thousand per month.
Some sites link to my site that violate my eula with the web host. Not sure how that affects me, but I block them in htaccess.
Other than that, I haven’t noticed anything.
