How to customize sync tool logging?

[David Chandek-Stark]

Hi,

I want to customize the logging configuration for the sync tool, specifically to keep more than 5 past files, which seems to be how v4.2.0 is configured.

Can I do this with a command line option?

Thanks,

David

Hi David,

Yes, you should be able to do this on the command line. The SyncTool uses logback for logging. According to their documentation (http://logback.qos.ch/manual/configuration.html):

You may specify the location of the default configuration file with a system property named "logback.configurationFile". The value of this property can be a URL, a resource on the class path or a path to a file external to the application.

 

java -Dlogback.configurationFile=/path/to/config.xml chapters.configuration.MyApp1

 

Note that the file extension must be ".xml" or ".groovy". Other extensions are ignored.

You can create your own logback.xml file by copying the one included in the SyncTool: https://github.com/duracloud/duracloud/blob/master/synctoolui/src/main/resources/logback.xml. You'd then change the rolling policy to work as you would prefer.

Hope this helps,

Bill
