Empty ULS (12 Hive) Logs
I was looking into turning on the Usage Analysis Processing and poked into the 12 hive LOGS folder as that is where Usage Analysis log files are stored. I noticed that the ULS log files (which are normally huge, since SharePoint logs every thing it does), were all 0kb. I thought I had this problem before but could not find any answers, so I started searching. I finally found a blog that talked about empty MOSS logs and it jogged my memory that one of the things that will fix this is to restart the Timer job service.
So I went into the services and restarted the Windows SharePoint Services Tracing and Windows SharePoint Services Timer services and the minute they were reset, the logs started filling up.
I have not found a reason for them to stop logging yet, but I am still looking.

didn't work for me. any other suggestions. I have enough drive space and restarted these services (were already running)
The services would be running. After you restarted them, the logs should start filling up again. If not were the logs working before? You can change settings in SharePoint to determine what is logged in there. Have these settings changed under logging in the Central Administration?
throttling would be to restrict certain events. if I select all, I should get at least something; yes logs used to work before; I removed the log location later coz they used to consume space; now I need them back.
I have already restarted these services to no avail..
I am not sure what is causing the issue then. Every time I have had problems with logging if I restarted the services everything worked again.
