Apex - data log stops at night?

WHO DAT??
I assume you're talking about the datalog (probe values) and not the outlet log (outlet on/off states)...
The normal behavior of the logging is logs start new every night at midnight. Logs will also start fresh with changes to the clock that would effect date (i.e. timezones). Normal firmware updates should not cause log files to split nor should 'initialize' commands.
So, first question is, have any of these been happening?
If you're talking about the outletlog, the only time something gets written to the log is when an outlet state changes so there could be large gaps in time if no outlet state changes are occuring.

I am referring to the probe and amp values as you suspected. I have updated to the current firmware a while back (4.04_2B11). The clock seems to be operating correctly.
So if logging starts fresh at midnight, is just the 23:50 value saved each day for X days?
It just appears that my logs are erasing every 2 hours, but keeping that last set of values for the previous day. It didn't used to do this.

can you telnet into your controller?
if so, telnet in, enter your userid and pw. Then enter the following command:
dir logs
that should give you a DOS listing of all your log files and their sizes. their names will be yymmdd.odat and pdat (outlet and probe). the pdat should be roughly the same size since they run for 24 hours at a time (the outlet logs will vary based on how frequently outlets turn on/off but probes get read on a consistent interval). do you notice big variances in log sizes, are there days that are missing? if you can, post a screen shot.
