How to get entries into chat log when server is running?

[LLv34_Temuri]

When I've enabled the chat log from the startup.cfg and I start the server, the chat log file is created. If I then go and write some chat messages, the log is still empty. After I shut down the server, the chat messages end up in the log. Is there a way/setting to have the chat messages in the log instantly?

There is a cut chat log command in the remote console that forces writing the chat log file.

Would bee nice to parse that log while server is running without cutting it, maybe for use on a webpage, like FBDj had for il2 1946.  Or even console feedback when a chat is registered.  I like to send chats to players when I am not in game, to warn of problems or possible restarts, or to ask questions about performance. Then I have to cut chat log, open file, and hope they responded. If not, cut the log, open again...  tedious.   Not a huge deal, but as a server operator this function can be very helpful for squishing mission bugs as I could watch the performance graph and get feedback in real time from players in game.

You could run a script that cuts the chat log regularly. Combine that with some instruction to players to use some keyword in the chat messages ("BUG!") and a script that parses these from the chat logs and perhaps sends you email
