OS: UNIX
Product edition: inSync On-Premise
Overview
At times you may be running low on disk space and would need to change the default log location on UNIX-based servers running inSync On-premise server. The default log location on UNIX servers running inSync On-premise is /var/log/inSyncCloud/.
Procedure to change the log location
To change the log location, you need to create a soft link and point the default location to any desired location where you want the logs to be stored. Perform the following steps:
Create a directory using the
mkdircommand. For example, Here we will create a “log” folder under /tmp directory
[root@druva-centos7 log]# cd /tmp/
[root@druva-centos7 tmp]# mkdir log
Now we will create a soft link using the
ln -scommand.
[root@druva-centos7 ~]# ln -s /var/log/inSyncCloud/ /tmp/log/
Verify that the soft link is created successfully by running the following command on the destination directory.
[root@druva-centos7 ~]# ls -al /tmp/log/
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 21 Aug 8 19:19 inSyncCloud -> /var/log/inSyncCloud
Stop inSync Master services by running the following command.
[root@druva-centos7 ~]# systemctl stop inSyncMasterAll
5. Start inSync Master services by running the following command.
[root@druva-centos7 ~]# systemctl start inSyncMasterAll
6. Navigate to the new location to verify that the logs are available by running the following commands.
[root@druva-centos7 ~]# cd /tmp/log/
[root@druva-centos7 inSyncCloud]# pwd
/tmp/log/inSyncCloud
[root@druva-centos7 inSyncCloud]# ls -al

The logs are now written in the new location.
