Disabling customer logging


All the tables that start with 'log_' become pretty big after some uptime.
If you don't need these here is a solution to disable them.
Create your own Magento extension. Let's call it 'Custom_Log'.
For this you need to create in app/code/local the folder 'Custom' and inside it the folder 'Log'.
Each module needs a config file.
Create inside the 'Log' folder a folder named 'etc' and inside it a file called config.xml with this content:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config>
<modules>
<Custom_Log>
<version>0.0.1</version>
</Custom_Log>
</modules>
<frontend>
<!-- [+] Disable logging -->
<events>
<controller_action_predispatch>
<observers>
<log>
<type>disabled</type>
</log>
</observers>
</controller_action_predispatch>
<controller_action_postdispatch>
<observers>
<log>
<type>disabled</type>
</log>
</observers>
</controller_action_postdispatch>
<customer_login>
<observers>
<log>
<type>disabled</type>
</log>
</observers>
</customer_login>
<customer_logout>
<observers>
<log>
<type>disabled</type>
</log>
</observers>
</customer_logout>
<sales_quote_save_after>
<observers>
<log>
<type>disabled</type>
</log>
</observers>
</sales_quote_save_after>
<checkout_quote_destroy>
<observers>
<log>
<type>disabled</type>
</log>
</observers>
</checkout_quote_destroy>
</events>
<!-- [-] Disable logging -->
</frontend>
</config>

now you need to tell Magento to use your module.
In app/etc/modules create the file 'Custom_Log.xml' with this content:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config>
<modules>
<Custom_Log>
<active>true</active>
<codePool>local</codePool>
</Custom_Log>
</modules>
</config>

now just clear the cache (contents of folder var/cache) and you are done.
The downside of doing this is that you won't get any details of the customers visits. But you can live with that. There's Google Analytics for this
