Hi, zypper got a now tool called zypper-log (rpm-package also called zypper-log). It can read all logfiles (also the rotated ones), you can query all zypper-runs of a special day, and you can query the complete log of a run providing the pid. # zypper-log Reading /var/log/zypper.log ................
