The following settings are typically added to the server configuration file, including:

  • Logging directories
  • Maximum file sizes at which log rotation occurs
  • The number of log files to keep

These values have the same default across all Chef Automate services, but individual services can have their values overwritten. Add the service-specific values to the delivery.rb file. The list of services delivery starts which include logging can be determined by looking in the node['delivery']['log_directory'] directory.

<service_name>['log_directory']
The directory in which log data is stored. The default value is the recommended value. Default value: /var/log/delivery/<service_name>.
<service_name>['log_rotation']['file_maxbytes']
The log rotation policy for this service. Log files are rotated when they exceed file_maxbytes. The maximum number of log files in the rotation is defined by num_to_keep. Default value: 100 * 1024 * 1024 (100MB).
<service_name>['log_rotation']['num_to_keep']
The log rotation policy for this service. Log files are rotated when they exceed file_maxbytes. The maximum number of log files in the rotation is defined by num_to_keep. Default value: 10.
