How to change the default HUE logs path

Question

How to change the default logs path of HUE from /var/log/hue to a different path? Is there a way to change the config without reinstalling?

Answer 1

You can change/replace the LOG_DIR variable to some path. You can modify "/etc/hue/conf/log.conf" and replace it. For example, I first created a directory "/opt/log/hue", then made the following changes.

#args=('%LOG_DIR%/shell_input.log', 'a', 1000000, 3) 

args=('/opt/log/hue/shell_input.log', 'a', 1000000, 3)

After this, save and exit and restart hue service 

service hue restart
