I am trying to locate file relative path : <file relative-to'"jboss.server.log.dir" path="server.log" >

But I could not found it that where is it? I found server.log file inside org/log/main directory but unable to locate jboss/server/log/dir

Please tell me where is it?

Check your boot.log for paramtere "jboss.server.log.dir" after this you can check server.log in that location.

Thanks!!

Now I am confused with jboss.server.log.dir relative-path.

Can you please explain me what it is?

Relative-Path means that It will do all things with respect to some value assinged to variable to whom it is referencing.

Here suppose "jboss.server.log.dir" variable has been to some path(/data/log), then your log file will get created in /data/log.

If it is a parameter so can I used anything ?

Please explain it.

Yes, this is a parameter and you can customize this to any existing path using below parameter during your jboss startup.

-Djboss.server.log.dir="Your custom Path"

Hope this helps you!!

Thanks!

ok I found that this is a Parameter. I used  ./standalone.sh -Djboss.server.log.dir=/mylogfile/LOGDATA command. Server is starting after stopping it.

I could not found /mylogfile/LOGDATA path.

can I change jboss.server.log.dir to jboss.xyz.abc ?

Thanks

Make sure that directory where you are going to keep your log file should exist.

e.g. in your case First create /mylogfile/LOGDATA directory and then launch below command for starting jboss instance.

./standalone.sh  -Djboss.server.log.dir=/mylogfile/LOGDATA

cd /mylogfile/LOGDATA

$ ls

server.log

Thanks!

Hi Kuldeep

Ok I found that this is a Parameter / standard system parameter but can I change it? like server.abc.xyz

Thanks

Hi Lalit,

I didn't understand your question. Do you want to change log file name to server.abc.xyz?

Thanks!

Hi Kuldeep

i want to change parameter name from server.log.dir to server.abc.xyz.

Hi Lalit,

I don't think that we can change this as these parameters are built-in and predefined.

Thanks!

You can just change that to:

<file path="${foo.bar}/server.log"/>

and then set the foo.bar system property, which can be done by passing -Dfoo.bar=/mylogfile/LOGDATA (for example) while starting the server.

Ah... Great.

Just checked that we can also defined our custom variable which can point to custom location.

thanks!

hi Kuldeep

I tried but it is showing an error. So I think we can't change it. Because this parameter is predefined. Location is "OK" working fine but parameter having some value so we can able to change the value of this parameter but not able to change Parameter.

But tried with server.com.dir that working fine. But not able to understand that what is going on. I found that server.com.dir is also a predefined parameter so that it was working on.
