[Dirk Estenfeld]

Hello Chris,

there are in fact two reasons for this.
1a) If a client uses a tool like Matomo or Google Analytics, then they simply don't need the logs and they just take up a lot of space on high load sites. Therefore, turning them off can make sense.
1b) And there are customers who simply don't want log files because they don't look at the statistics anyway and we're back to the issue of space.
2) Well, and the third point is that in Germany it's sometimes better to have less data than more 😊.

Best regards,
Dirk

I'm interested what the thinking was behind this feature.   Not having any logs seems like a pretty niche / specialized thing to want to do, so I'm curious about the reasons this would be desired.   To prevent logs from consuming disk space?   To prevent forensics?
