Changing the log directory

thierry_chea1 — Fri, 15 Dec 2017 15:23:55 GMT

Hello,

By defaut, the Dynatrace OneAgent logs in the /opt/dynatrace/oneagent/log

How can I change this default behaviour ?

I have found a parameter in the ruxitagentnetwork.conf file and modified like this :

# The path to the directory holding the log files
# Default: <agent location>/../../log
LogfilePath /stor/logs/dynatrace

And then restart the oneagent process :

service oneagent stop

service oneagent start

But the OneAgent still logs in the default directory. Is there another parameter to modify ?

Regards,

Hi Thierry,

There is no supported way to change just the location of OneAgent logs. If you need to change the storage location you could use INSTALL_PATH parameter, as described here:

Please let me know if this solution suits you.

Regards,

Tomasz
