Wowza Streaming Engine Manager: Viewing Log Files in other directories
Dear Wowza Community,
for some reasons we want to change the log directory [install-dir]/logs to [install-dir]/logs/subdirectory or to an other mount [mount-point]/log-files/wowza/
I can change the directory in log4j.properties. That is no problem, the log files will be stored in the new directory. But if I want to see current log files via "Wowza Streaming Engine Manager - Server - Logs" there is just the possibility to view log files which are locatet in the original log file directory [install-dir]/logs.
Is there any possibility to force Wowza Streaming Engine Manager to view log files which are located in subdirectories or other directories?
thank you & best regards,
Anton

Hi,
Relocating the logs and then trying to use them/view through the Manager UI is currently not supported. The Manager will only read the logs from the original [install-dir]/logs location.

Dear Daren,
thank you for the answer. Is there any plan to implement this function in a future Wowza release?

Is not possble yet to use another directory than the original installdir to read log files? I want use another mount point(diferent directory in another disk) to move actual log files. I modified "log4j.propierties", but now can't see anything in monitoring my server Don't have more space in installdir of wowza, any solution?
I think I found a simple solution with symbolic liks. Here a reference: https://www.wowza.com/community/questions/629/default-installation-directory.html I put the historic files in the new location, and create a symbolic link with the name "logs" in install dir pointing to the new target. Now can read historic logs, and create new ones.
