    server.log file location

      How to change default log file location of server.log file?

       

      JBoss EAP 6.1

       

      File: <JBOSS_HOME>\standalone\configuration\logging.properties

       

      settings:

      handler.FILE.fileName=D\:\\jboss-eap-6.1\\standalone\\log\\server.log

      change to

      handler.FILE.fileName=E\:\\jboss-eap-6.1\\standalone\\log\\server.log

       

      After changing the filename , once we restart Jboss the logging.properties file gets updated with old file location.

       

      Any advice?

          You can change the logfile location in the standalone.xml if the server is down.

          But the prefered way is to use the CLI or management console to do it.

          Also you can change the default location by using the -Djboss.server.log.dir=<a path> as JVM property during startup

            From Management console

             

            Profile->Subsystems->Core->Logging

             

            Periodic File Handler is set as follows:

             

                   <subsystem xmlns="urn:jboss:domain:logging:1.2">

                        <periodic-rotating-file-handler autoflush="true" name="FILE">

                            <formatter>

                                <pattern-formatter pattern="%d{HH:mm:ss,SSS} %-5p [%c] (%t) %s%E%n"/>

                            </formatter>

                            <file path="server.log" relative-to="jboss.server.log.dir"/>

                            <suffix value=".yyyy-MM-dd"/>

                            <append value="true"/>

                        </periodic-rotating-file-handler>

             

            I am not able to change value of relative-to="jboss.server.log.dir"

             

             

            In JVM envrionment ; jboss.server.log.dir is set to D:\CA\jboss-eap-6.1\standalone\log .

             

            How to set this value to other location.

              If you use standalone mode you can add the property to the start command:

               

                 standalone.bat -D-Djboss.server.log.dir=d:\logfiles\server1

               

              this should change the path.
