when the log of an application, database, or system is not updating as it is known to or expected to given its history, here's what i was hoping you guys would be alluding to:
1. the application that normally logs to that log file is not functioning properly. it is sluggish and most likely to be crashing in the near future.
2. a new change has been applied to the application or database which has caused it to behave different. if you didn't make the change, then, u would want to know about this.
3. a hack attempt. someone hacked into the database, application, system and screwed around with it. this can be linked to 2.
4. a lack of activity could mean some part of a web site is not functioning right. i.e. page not loading, or taking too slow, causing users to give up.
hopefully, these can point you guys in the direction i was thinking. and i'm hoping you can add more or suggest other possible reasons.
