Hello,

The pihole.log file (live) update page is very useful, though it stops refreshing at midnight. How can this be prevented (i.e. keep updating automatically regardless of time)? Please advise, and thank you.

Best,

rehmke

There is a log rotation that happens at midnight each night, and this is stopping the live tail. Wait a minute and restart the tail, and you will be good for the next (almost) 24 hours.

ls -lha /var/log/pihole/pihole.log*
