[SOLVED] Change /var/log/pveproxy/ & /var/log/pve/ locations

[TheDarthFather]

Hello,
I just moved all my syslog logs to another directory.
Where can I find the respective config files, so I can change the log location for /var/log/pveproxy/ and /var/log/pve/ ?

Thank you!

the locations are hardcoded in a few places , e.g.:
https://git.proxmox.com/?p=pve-mana...52a890796a594c583db9946e69bd4bdb;hb=HEAD#l102

so this is not really configurable - however you can just move the logs and create a symlink in /var/log pointing to the new directory

I hope this helps!

Can it be possible to send log to a null file ? As instead of writing all time info not needed. When it fail: you reboot, if it fail again, then you active full log details.

No this is currently not possible
but since the task-logs get rotated automatically and the pveproxy/access.log is handled by logrotate it should not be an issue space-wise

also logs can help a lot if you run into an issue, which does not happen everytime

I just want to send my logs on a HDD instead of the SSDs. I dont want "not to log"
