Feature Request: Proxmox Log Ownership

[SPaul]

Looking for some help with Proxmox file permissions in /var/log

I see some logs are owned by user root and group adm

-rw-r----- 1 root adm 55 Nov 7 00:00 pve-firewall.log

So adding a user to the adm group allows for visibility.

Other logs have different permissions, some readable by all, some not:

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 50920 Nov 7 01:55 pveam.log
-rw-r----- 1 www-data www-data 0 Nov 5 00:00 pveproxy/access.log
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 41407 Nov 7 21:01 pve/tasks/index
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2419 Nov 7 21:01 pve/tasks/active

I'm looking for a way to set the group and file permissions when these logs are generated.

The default /etc/rsyslog.conf file shows these settings:

$FileOwner root
$FileGroup adm
$FileCreateMode 0640
$DirCreateMode 0755
$Umask 0022

There's no mention of Proxmox in that file, nor any custom config in /etc/rsyslog.d/

I've trawled through a few forum posts, docs and other sources but am unable to find a definitive answer.

Any help in solving this will be most welcome.

All PVE files are not logged through (r|)syslog, so the defaults do not apply. Every app logs itself and I cannot think of any way to change that besides changing the source code of the various PVE components in question.

Thanks for the input. Appreciate that. I will raise a feature request for this.
