Opsview - Infrastructure Agent - Customizing logging

The Infrastructure Agent has a few customizable options with regards to file logging.

On a Linux host, the default logging handler is syslog, so most options will be determined by the system-wide configuration.

On Windows hosts, or on Linux hosts where you decide to use the file logging handler instead of syslog, there are the following options you can change by editing the YAML files in the cfg subdirectory :

• maxBytes: Maximum size of a logfile before it is rotated. The default is 1048576 (1MB)
• backupCount: Number of rotated files kept before deletion. The default is 4.
• filename: Name of logfile. The default is C:\Program Files\Infrastructure Agent\logs\agent.log on Windows.
• encoding: Character encoding used in the logfiles. The default is utf-8.

Example:

logging:
  handlers:
    file:
      backupCount: 10
      maxBytes: 2097152

This will increase the maximum logfile size to 2MB, and backups to 10.
