By default all log files are stored in <CARBON_HOME>/repository/logs/ directory.
Lets assume we need to move all these logs to /var/logs/wso2 directory.
1. Open log4j.properties file resides within <CARBON_HOME>/repository/conf/ directory and update following properties as mentioned below.
log4j.appender.SERVICE_APPENDER.File
log4j.appender.TRACE_APPENDER.File
log4j.appender.CARBON_LOGFILE.File
log4j.appender.ERROR_LOGFILE.File
log4j.appender.AUDIT_LOGFILE.File
log4j.appender.ATOMIKOS.File
log4j.appender.SERVICE_APPENDER.File=/var/logs/wso2/${instance.log}/wso2-apigw-service${instance.log}.log
log4j.appender.TRACE_APPENDER.File=/var/logs/wso2/${instance.log}/wso2-apigw-trace${instance.log}.log
log4j.appender.CARBON_LOGFILE.File=/var/logs/wso2/${instance.log}/wso2carbon${instance.log}.log
log4j.appender.ERROR_LOGFILE.File=/var/logs/wso2/${instance.log}/wso2-apigw-errors.log
log4j.appender.AUDIT_LOGFILE.File=/var/logs/wso2/audit.log
log4j.appender.ATOMIKOS.File = /var/logs/wso2/tm.out
2. configure HTTP Access log file by changing <CARBON_HOME>/repository/conf/tomcat/catalina-server.xml
<Valve className="org.apache.catalina.valves.AccessLogValve"You may face few hick-ups if you need to move ALL logs from default location.
directory="/var/logs/wso2"
prefix="localhost_access_log_sample."
suffix=".log"
pattern="%{xxx}i %{xxx}o"
resolveHosts="false"/>
Eg: - patches.log, wso2carbon-trace-messages.log
At the moment there is no direct way to configure store location for above logs.These properties exist within <CARBON_HOME>/lib/org.wso2.carbon.server-4.2.0.jar and patch applying process take place even before the carbon server start. So we have bundled log4j.properties file within org.wso2.carbon.server-4.2.0.jar.
I will note down a workaround here.
Go to <CARBON_HOME>/lib/ Directory. Open the org.wso2.carbon.server-4.2.0.jar with an archive manager. Open the log4j.properties using a text editor and modify following properties.
log4j.appender.CARBON_LOGFILE.File
log4j.appender.CARBON_TRACE_LOGFILE.File
log4j.appender.CARBON_PATCHES_LOGFILE
