Thank you very much!!

See opencart reports -> customers -> Customer activity, you see something like ...confirmed billing address with VIES vatnumber check in a new order....

If I just disable it, I think that it will NOT write the infos related to VAT validation (as described in my previous message)

What we need is to keep entries about the 'Confirmation evidence log' (screenshot attached)

Disable Debug logging, then only info and error will be logged and that are not a lot of entries.

hello Dennis,

Thanks for your prompt response.
After enabling/disabling the checkbox 'Debug Logging', it starts working again.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Another question we have is how we can reduce the entries in the log file.
Currently we receive a lot of logs about the IP/GEO service like the below:

2022-08-02 16:00:28 - DEBUG: Check if the GEO service is available at http://www.geoplugin.net/php.gp?ip={IP}&base_currency={CURRENCY}

Although, we have disabled it in the module settings (check the attached screenshot),
such infos are still writing in the log file.

Is there any way the logs write only the entries related to VAT validation?
i.e. like the below one:

Hi

Do you have the latest version?
It can be if you use a shared server more users are using geoplugin. Or maybe other extensions in you shop use geoplugin.

If you enter in the tab site details you website data, I can check it.

Best regards
Dennis
