Login & Logout

• Login: User login attempts (successful and failed) are usually logged. This may include details like the IP address, timestamp, and whether the login attempt was successful.
  
• Logout: Some forums log when a user logs out or their session expires.
  

Post Creation

• New Post: When a user creates a new thread or post in a forum, it is recorded in the database.
  
• Post Editing: Any edits made to a post are logged, including the timestamp, editor, and changes made.
  
• Post Deletion: When a post is deleted, the action is logged with the reason for deletion.
  
• Post Report: If a user reports a post, this action is logged, often with details like the reason for reporting.
  

Thread Creation and Management

• Thread Creation: When a user creates a new thread, it is logged in the database.
  
• Thread Deletion: Deleting a thread is logged, including the reason.
  
• Thread Editing: If a user edits the title or content of a thread, the action is logged.
  
• Thread Merging/Splitting: When threads are merged or split, this action is recorded.
  

User Registration

• New User Registration: When a new user registers, details such as the username, email address, IP address, and timestamp are recorded in the database.
  
• User Activation: If a new user account requires activation (via email or admin approval), this event is logged.
  

Key Tables Involved in Logging:

• mybb_users
  : Stores user information such as registration, profile changes, and suspension details.
  
• mybb_posts
  : Logs individual posts and related actions (edit, delete, report).
  
• mybb_threads
  : Tracks thread creation, editing, and deletion.
  
• mybb_modlogs
  : Contains logs for moderator actions.
  
• mybb_adminlogs
  : Stores logs for administrative actions.
  
• mybb_session
  : Contains information on user sessions, such as logins and time of last activity.
  
• mybb_reportedposts
  : Stores reports of posts made by users.
  Sessions in MyBB:
• • Stored in
    mybb_sessions
    : Includes data like session ID, user ID, IP address, timestamp, and user-agent.
    
  • Purpose: Tracks user logins, active pages, and session activity. Expired after a period of inactivity (e.g., 15 minutes).
    
  • Security: Helps prevent session hijacking and fixation by regenerating session IDs after login.
    
  IP Address Logging:
• • Stored in Multiple Tables: Includes
    mybb_sessions
    (login IP),
    mybb_posts
    (post IP), and
    mybb_failed_logins
    (for failed login attempts).
    
  • Purpose: Tracks user actions, detects suspicious activity (e.g., multiple accounts or brute-force attempts), and enables banning.
    
  • Security: Useful for monitoring login patterns, detecting spam, and applying IP bans.
    
  Regarding this information, can the Admins tell exactly which logs it is applied to (Logrotation), I think I will answer these questions to everyone's satisfaction.
