Relocating the syslog log directory

Note

The logs directory can consume large amounts of disk space.

For this reason, it is common to relocate the logs directory to a separate dedicated disk. For best results, the disk should not be a network server (because this can dramatically slow down the CO-syslog.exe process.)

You specify the location of the new syslog data directory on the Messages > Config > Parms screen of the web interface. For instance, the administrator can specify an auxiliary disk, such as the D: drive.

Note

(As annotated on the Parms screen) this value does not take effect until you restart the syslog process, or the node is rebooted.
