Rundeck - what is a difference between logs

I have a problem with logs on Rundeck instance, but what is a difference between logs in /var/lib/rundeck/logs and /var/logs/rundeck In both I mean about jobs.logs Thanks for help

Solution

  • At /var/lib/rundeck/logs you can find information related to job executions, at /var/log/rundeck you can find information about the instance (like the service.log, the main Rundeck log file). Take a look at this.

    Regarding /var/lib/rundeck/logs logs, you can change the path at the framework.properties file (framework.logs.dir param) to another partition, just make sure that path is reachable by rundeck user.

    But definitely, the best way to manage this is to configure Rundeck to use some external log storage (like AWS S3 or Minio services), take a look at this plugin.
