Once the visualcron service has been restarted (or the server rebooted) the job and task logs within visualcron reset and will only show the logs since the restart.
I know the logs are stored in the log folder but is there anyway of telling visualcron to continue to show the previous logs within the client?

No, not right now.

Ok - Ill add a request for new functionality.
