  • The BIND DNS server has already been deprecated and removed from Plesk for Windows.
    If a Plesk for Windows server is still using BIND, the upgrade to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.70 will be unavailable until the administrator switches the DNS server to Microsoft DNS. We strongly recommend transitioning to Microsoft DNS within the next 6 weeks, before the Plesk 18.0.70 release.
  • The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.

Question What is the best way to handle: xmlrpc, nginx, and not have issues?

Regular Pleskian
This is not optimal?

Can this be done:
1) diable/block xmlrpc so you are guaranteed to NOT let it cause a problem for server or WP install.
2) don't log all the bots, etc who try to access it.

Meaning, IF I KNOW it can't be used or create a problem, I don't want to know all bad guys trying to access it?

NOTE: My WP sites use these settings (as I believe they provide the fastest performance):
- using FPM
- under nginx settings, ALL 4 checkboxes are checked (proxy mode, smart static files processing, serve static files by nginx, nginx caching)


I guess ultimately, I'm trying to rid my log files of all the bots that hit files that I can "guarantee" will NOT be a problem.

your thoughts?

PS. Obviously, log files are important and can show trouble for when bad things happen... that is a given. BUT can't the xmlrpc file just be completed removed, not logged, etc.

thanks
