#### Summary

My logs are updating on disk. They’re enabled (both Console and File). I can’t see/follow them through the application, only directly in `/opt/mattermost/logs` or `journalctl -u mattermost -e`.

#### Steps to reproduce

Mattermost 4.5.0 EE  
Go to System Console -\> Logs

#### Expected behavior

Latest logs when observed in System Console are current.

#### Observed behavior

Latest logs when observed in System Console are September 2017. This coincides with the ‘top’ of the latest logfile in `/opt/mattermost/logs/mattermost.log`.

I’ve checked the perms of the files, and they’re all ‘right’:

```auto
[root@matterhost logs]# ls -l
total 11364
-rw-r-----. 1 mattermost mattermost 2983724 Jan 12 09:15 mattermost.log

```

I’ve restarted the service several times over the last few months (upgrades, etc), but the logs seem to be pinned to ‘old logs’

Hi @rheouk,

We recently fixed a bug where the logs weren’t updating correctly.

We suggest upgrading to the [latest version](https://about.mattermost.com/download/) of Mattermost which should resolve the issue for you.

Hi @lindy65

I logged this issue while I was on 4.5.0.

as of this morning, I’ve updated to 4.6.0 and this seems to be resolved, thanks!
