I have several projects with multiple cron jobs scheduled in each on a Linux machine configured with Rundeck. I wanted to know if there is a simpler logging configuration that could be added so that all logs belonging to crons of one project are available in a common directory.
For instance, project A contains 3 scheduled crons A1, A2 and A3.
A possibility of logging in a common directory would be to do add the log location to the cron command individually
bash testA1.sh>/logs/A/logA1.log
bash testA2.sh>/logs/A/logA2.log
bash testA3.sh>/logs/A/logA3.log
I wanted to know if there is a configuration for the project level A where I could add the parent directory for logging as /logs/A I could then change the commands as
bash testA1.sh>logA1.log
bash testA2.sh>logA2.log
bash testA3.sh>logA3.log
Additionally, can the logging file be provided in the cron configuration without specifying >{log_file_name}.log in the command.
Using logging plugin you can do that.
For example, you can configure a log plugin (for example s3/minio plugin) at project level (setting at project.properties file)-
project.plugin.ExecutionFileStorage.org.rundeck.amazon-s3.path=/common/path/logs/${job.project}/${job.execid}.log
As you see, you can use job/project context variables with your custom path/filenames.
Check the full configuration documentation.
Tip: you can use s3 log plugin with Minio locally without problems.
