Delays

Recent Issues

Since approximately December 2023, Nitrado has been facing various DDoS attacks, resulting in new issues such as delays and rate limits. These problems cause delays in Nitrado's replication process of the game server log, leading to longer response times from automated tools (e.g., DayZ++ parses the log every 90 seconds).

Nitrado's Log Replication Process

Similar to various other files, console server owners do not have access to the actual log files of the game server. Instead, Nitrado has a system that replicates the log files at specific intervals. However, since these issues began, the replication interval has become inconsistent, ranging from a few minutes to up to 40 minutes in some cases.

At one point, Nitrado provided "access to the logs folder," but this folder is still not the actual log folder. Instead, it is another replication on the game server side, often containing only previous logs and not the current one. Furthermore, because this folder is also replicated, it still suffers from delays, unlike if we had read access to the actual log folder.
