Hi, the plugin seems not to respect the localtime set on the system as well as the one set in php.ini by date.timezone =. The logging timestamp in the logs is UTC though CET is the that of the system. Because of that I have an issue with fail2ban recognizing and blocking failed logins. At the moment I am doing a “hacky” workaround and set date_default_timezone_set('CET'); manually in the log.php but would be interested in a general solution.

Hello,

I’ve attempted to configure this plugin on my Dreamhost WP site but am not seeing any log file activity after following the instructions.

Line 115/116 of my wp-config (sanitized):

/** Sets logging directory up for Jeepers Peepers syslog plugin */

define('BLOBAUDIT_LOG_PATH', '/wp-log/jeepers-peepers-wp-syslog.log');

Note, I also tried the full path with /home/$user/$site to the same effect.

The only thing showing up in my debug.log after enabling logging:

PHP Notice: Constant BLOBAUDIT_LOG_PATH already defined in /home/$user/$website/wp-config.php on line 116

In the wp-log directory, there’s no file being generated with this config in place. I’ve verified:

• Log directory permissions are read/write for the same user correlated to the WP install
• Log directory is located in the same folder as wp-config file (and locked down via .htaccess)
• PHP is 7.4
• WP is 6.1.1
• Linux/Apache host
• Single site (shared hosting though, not sure if that is the same for this context)

I wasn’t sure about open_basedir being configured for my PHP, and I picked a location within the writable web root structure hoping to avoid permissions issues related to the hosting environment.

Any ideas or tips?
