Rundeck execution logs directory question

[Hari]

Hi Team,

Can you please advise what is the use of  "framework.logs.dir" in  framework.properties file? I am referring - https://docs.rundeck.com/docs/administration/configuration/config-file-reference.html#framework-properties.  I don't see any logs rolling under  $RDECK_BASE/var/logs directory. But I can see logs under  $RDECK_BASE/server/logs. I am using a containerized version of rundeck. Are same logs will be generated under  $RDECK_BASE/var/logs and  $RDECK_BASE/server/logs?

Hi Hari,

The framework.logs.dirs refers to execution logs (not rundeck system logs).

On the default Docker image that path corresponds to /home/rundeck/var/logs/rundeck/YourProject and it's generated when you have a project with some executions (just tested on default Rundeck default docker image 5.8.0).

Are same logs will be generated under $RDECK_BASE/var/logs and $RDECK_BASE/server/logs?

Nope, $RDECK_BASE/var/logs is for job execution logs, $RDECK_BASE/server/logs is for rundeck server logs (rundeck.access.log, rundeck.log, etc).

Regards!

Thank you for the explanation.  I was created a job and was able to see the logs under  /home/rundeck/var/logs/rundeck/.

Also I am trying to integrate Rundeck with ELK - https://docs.rundeck.com/docs/learning/howto/elk-integration.html. Does this integration sent both job execution logs & rundeck server logs or only Job execution logs? Please advice

thank you

No problem!

That integration sends the execution logs data.

Regards.
