Kaushal Patel_r7dvof

hi

Currently logs for jira are located /opt/jira/atlassian-jira-software-7.4.2-standalone/logs

i want to move to a drive that has much more space.

 

current storage on the server is 

 

Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/rhel_inettemplrhel7-root 18G 6.4G 12G 37% /
devtmpfs 7.9G 0 7.9G 0% /dev
tmpfs 7.9G 0 7.9G 0% /dev/shm
tmpfs 7.9G 809M 7.1G 11% /run
tmpfs 7.9G 0 7.9G 0% /sys/fs/cgroup
/dev/sda1 497M 165M 333M 34% /boot
/dev/mapper/vg_data-jira 177G 92G 85G 53% /home/jira

 

i want to move all the logs to /dev/mapper/vg_data-jira

 

thanks

Two options (both need you to stop Jira while you amend them)

• Dirty quick option - move the logs directory to the new place, then replace the logs directory with a symbolic link to the new place.
• Doing it properly - amend the log4j.properties file to point to a new place.  Move all the old logs (if you want to keep them).  See https://confluence.atlassian.com/adminjiraserver/logging-and-profiling-938847671.html for how to amend the file

Restart Jira and  it will log to the new place.
