Our next release will allow you to specify files which can be excluded.
Can you exclude it by default, I have got 50+ sites running shield and am getting loads of mails, and I do not want to exclude this manually. The shield central is way too expensive if you have many sites. Thanks

If you’d like to chat with us about scaling your sites with Shield Central, please feel free to drop us an email. We’re happy to chat about it. Cheers!
will do. But except for this, why is the php error logfile being checked for changes (I do not think it was before). This is a file which by nature changes all the time, so why include it in the core wordpress files?

There’s a ‘more info’ link in the email that explains this for you. It isn’t a core file scan… it’s a whole new scan
ok, so you added an unrecognised file scanner. My question remains, why can’t you exclude php_errorlog , because it seems to me that this is not really an unregognised file right?
Can you please exclude php_errorlog, because it will save me changing settings in 50+ websites… (not talking about all the mails from my clients I have to reply to)
Don’t get me wrong, shield is a great plugin, keep up the good work!

The problem here is that it’s not unrecognised for you. It’s unrecognised for me, or for many, many others.
Many don’t store error log files within our PHP code folders for most of our sites. But I know some do – the most common is error_log, so we account for that. There are also .htaccess, .user.ini and php.ini. These are standard PHP configuration and apache files. Spurious log files are not standard and they’re different for everyone.
There’s php_error_log, php_errorlog, and I’m sure no shortage of others. Do we put them all down because it’s there for some and not others? Where do we stop?
For the moment we’re not adding more, but providing the custom file exclusion list in the next update

Ok paul, I understand now. I thought php_errorlog was standardly stored there for all.
So I guess this is something my hosting provider has somewhere in their settings?
I will contact them.
thanks for your very quick replies to all messages
cheers, jeroen

Yep, you can specify where PHP error/notice logs are output to. See here as an example of just one approach to tweaking this:
